To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the development needs of Cambodia.

Mrs. Chalker

I refer the hon. Member to the answer that I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Battersea (Mr. Bowis) on 5 July. Britain is helping to meet the basic humanitarian needs of the people of Cambodia by supporting the projects of British NGOs under the ODA's joint funding scheme and by contributing to the programmes of international agencies.

114. Mr. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commomwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the refugee camps on the Thai-Cambodian border.

Mrs. Chalker

There are approximately 300,000 Cambodian displaced persons living in camps administered by the Cambodian resistance factions. The United Nations Border Relief Organisation (UNBRO), other international agencies and NGOs provide humanitarian assistance. In common with other members of the international donor community, the United Kingdom provides financial support for these humanitarian relief activities. Support is channelled through the various relief agencies and is aimed at providing food, water, shelter and medical services for the non-communist groups.
