HC Deb 31 October 1989 vol 159 c144W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance has been provided by Her Majesty's Government to Cambodian resistance groups; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

Since 1979 we have provided over £13 million of assistance to Cambodians living along the Thai border in camps administered by the non-Communist resistance groups. So far this year we have donated £350,000 through the United Nations border relief operation. We have commited a further £120,000 to the non-Communist resistance for English language training and humanitarian assistance.
