HC Deb 15 June 1990 vol 174 c386W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the United Kingdom Government propose any assistance towards ending the civil war in Liberia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

We are following the situation in Liberia closely through our embassy in Monrovia. We hope that the talks in Freetown between the Liberian Government and opposition forces will lead to a peaceful solution for this troubled country. We are funding an eight-man UNDRO relief team at a cost of £200,000.
