To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the current level of aid given by the United Kingdom to Somalian refugees in Ethiopia.

Mr. Chris Patten

Since the outbreak of the civil conflict in Somalia last year, we have provided assistance totalling some £2.45 million for Somali refugees in Ethiopia. We have provided a further £2.73 million in support of programmes, run by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, for the benefit of both Sudanese and Somali refugees in Ethiopia.
