Lord Brougham and Vaux

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What assistance they are giving to the General Programmes budget of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 1994.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey)

I have approved a grant of £ 6 million for UNHCR's General Programmes budget for 1994. This follows our highest contribution ever in 1993 at over £ 50 million, to both UNHCR's General and Special Programmes budgets. We shall be continuing to monitor UNHCR's work and needs during the year with a view to responding appropriately to such appeals as they issue.
