To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what response Her Majesty's Government have made to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refuges appeal for assistance to refugees in Kenya; and what aid Her Majesty's Government are providing for drought-stricken areas of Kenya.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

On 5 June my right hon. and noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development announced a pledge of £1 million to the UNHCR appeal. A further £1 million is being given to WFP and CARE to help supply, transport, distribute and monitor food for 500,000 Kenyans in the most seriously affected districts of northern Kenya.
