HC Deb 21 April 1994 vol 241 c614W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which British aid agencies are working in Rwanda; and if he will make a statement.

All British aid agencies have withdrawn from Rwanda. The following nongovernmental organisations—ACORD, CARE, Christian Aid, Oxfam, and affiliated partners of Tear Fund—plan to resume operations as soon as conditions allow.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contribution the Overseas Development Administration is making to alleviate the current unrest in Rwanda.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In the last week we have committed some £820,000 in emergency aid, through British non-governmental organisations, for the victims of the conflict in Rwanda.
