HC Deb 14 January 1993 vol 216 c809W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the pledges made by the United Kingdom and others; and if he will list the pledges which have been converted into cash for relief supplies for Bosnia.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have committed over £70 million in humanitarian relief to the former Yugoslavia. Of this, £41 million has been pledged multilaterally through the EC and over £29.5 million in direct bilateral assistance. Most of this is focused on central Bosnia. I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for High Peak (Mr. Hendry) on 23 November, columns 452–53, for details of how we are spending these funds. Comprehensive figures for the commitments made by other donors are not available.
