§ Mr. AltonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what amounts of aid have been given to the Slovenian Government for the assistance of displaced people and refugees(a) as part of general European Community aid and (b) as direct British aid.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd[holding answer 23 February 1993]: Figures for direct European Community aid to the Slovenian Government for the assistance of displaced people are not readily available. The United Kingdom has not provided any direct aid to the Slovenian Government for the assistance of displaced people but we have instead provided support to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who co-ordinates the international community's response to the humanitarian crisis in the former Yugoslavia. In 1992 the UNHCR provided a total of US$10,137,464 for the assistance of displaced people and other victims of the conflict in Slovenia.

Her most recent report, dated 10 February, shows that there are about 75,000 displaced people and refugees in Slovenia.
