HC Deb 26 January 1993 vol 217 cc633-4W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has for additional help for United Nations relief operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and the former Yugoslavia.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In 1992 we committed £8.25 million to Afghanistan, of which £4.5 million was provided for United Nations relief operations; £10.84 million to Iraq of which £6.5 million was provided for UN relief operations; and £70.5 million to the former Yugoslavia, of which £23.6 million was provided for UN relief operations. Our future responses towards these crises depend on the assessment of needs and we are maintaining a close dialogue with the UN on this.
