HC Deb 01 July 1993 vol 227 cc585-6W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to what extent Slovenia's borders are open to refugees; what is the current estimate of refugees in Slovenia; and what representations have been made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to Her Majesty's Government and EC Governments for additional funds and other assistance to support refugees in Slovenia.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees—UNHCR—estimates that there are approximately 60,000 refugees in Slovenia. UNHCR's 1993 appeal includes provision for refugees in Slovenia. The United Kingdom has given £27.8 million in cash and kind to UNHCR since the beginning of 1993. Slovenia is not accepting new arrivals.
