HC Deb 21 March 1994 vol 240 c24W
45. Mr. Legg

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what Her Majesty's Government are doing to assist drought-affected people in Kenya.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We have pledged nearly £15 million in humanitarian assistance since the onset of the present drought in 1992. We were the first donor to respond to the Government of Kenya's appeal for food aid in December 1993, allocating 15,000 tonnes of food aid, worth about £3.8 million, since then for the immediate needs of drought victims in Kenya.
