HC Deb 23 March 1993 vol 221 c541W
Mr. Bayley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what aid has been given to Guatemala for the repatriation of Guatemalan refugees; and what support will be offered in the future.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Following a request from the United Nations High Commission for Refugees through our embassy in Guatemala city, an RAF Hercules, in successive sorties between 28 and 31 January, flew a total of some 100 tons of emergency food and other supplies to the north of the country to provide assistance for the first group of returning refugees from Mexico. Our embassy in Guatemala City continues to monitor the situation.
