HC Deb 02 June 1992 vol 208 cc356-7W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much the Overseas Development Administration has directly spent on its own activities in Iraqi Kurdistan in the month of April; and what is the projected figure for May 1992.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In 1991–92 we gave a total of £51.5 million for humanitarian relief to Iraq, of which £824,000 was provided in grants to British and Kurdish non-governmental organisations for relief work in northern Iraq. Some of this money is still being spent. Expenditure figures for April and May 1992 are not available. In May we provided a further £600,000 towards the cost of UN guards in Iraq.
