HC Deb 28 October 1993 vol 230 c731W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the Kenyan Government on the problems now being faced in that country as a result of refugees crossing the border from Somalia to Kenya; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

My right hon. Friend the Minister for Overseas Development discussed this issue recently with the Kenyan Foreign Minister. In 1992–23, we provided over £2.4 million via UN agencies and non-governmental organisations as aid to refugees in northern Kenya, over 85 per cent. of whom were Somalis.
