Lord Mountevans

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What contributions Her Majesty's Government will make to the special emergency programme for the Horn of Africa 1993 Appeals for Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

I have this week approved a total British contribution of £19.35 million to these appeals. The contribution is made up as follows:

Country 1 Food aid (tonnes) Non-food (£ million)
Eritrea 5,000 2.0
Ethiopia 13,000 3.5
Kenya 15,000 1.5
Sudan — 3.5
1 Approximately £8.85 million and includes £0.5 million to transport and distribute food in Sudan.

This pledge is additional to the £221 million, including 310,000 tonnes of food aid and our share of EC emergency aid, which we have committed for humanitarian relief in the Horn of Africa since the present crisis began in September 1990.
