HC Deb 27 June 1994 vol 245 c410W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the money in the United Nations Liberian trust fund has been spent.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In addition to the United Kingdom contribution of $1 million, other contributions to date to the Liberian trust fund have been from the USA, $19.8 million and Denmark, $0.3 million.

I refer the hon. Gentleman to my reply of 14 April, Official Report, column 259 for details of how the United Kingdom contribution is being spent. The other contributions have gone towards the costs of deploying equipping and maintaining the Ugandan and Tanzanian battalions as well as helping to maintain the rest of the ECOMOG force.
