HC Deb 04 May 1994 vol 242 cc557-8W
Mr. Sykes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance Her Majesty's Government are providing bilaterally and through the EC for a Palestinian police force in the occupied territories.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The United Kingdom is providing 200 sets of riot-control equipment and organising training courses in the United Kingdom for senior police officers. The European Union has adopted a joint action which provides for up to ecu 10 million in grant funds from the Community budget towards the Palestinian police force. The United Kingdom played a leading role in stimulating the European Union contribution.
