Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he is taking to bring the fighting in Croatia to an end.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

On 8 November we and our EC partners agreed a number of economic measures against Yugoslavia. We shall now be working towards a United Nations Security Council resolution imposing restrictions on the sale of oil to Yugoslavia.

Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements he is making to provide a package of aid to assist the people of Croatia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We are contributing £250,000 to the International Red Cross Committee's effort in Yugoslavia. Together with our share of the 1 million ecu already committed by the European Community this brings our total contribution to over £.1.3 million.
