HC Deb 25 April 1994 vol 242 c31W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on action to be taken in providing medicine to Iraq, following the Adjournment debate of 12 April on water-borne disease in the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We are ready to consider further requests for essential medical supplies for Iraq. We will expect requests to show that delivery will be well targeted and adequately monitored. We are discussing with the British Red Cross a recent appeal from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
