HC Deb 16 November 1992 vol 214 cc59-60W
45. Mr. Tyler

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the level of overseas aid to be allocated to the former Yugoslavia over the next year.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have committed more than £70 million for humanitarian aid to the former Yugoslavia up to the end of financial year 1992–93. This consists of £29.5 million bilaterally and a further £41 million which is our contribution to the EC's aid to the former Yugoslavia. This is in addition to our contribution of 2,400 British troops for the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) and a field ambulance unit of 260. Decisions on the levels of humanitarian aid to the former Yugoslavia in 1993–94 will depend upon events in the region.
