§ Mr. Worthington
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on what projects Britain's contribution to the Liberian trust fund has been spent.

§ Mr. Baldry
We have contributed $1 million to the UN voluntary trust fund for Liberia, including

$251,000 on a public information campaign to encourage national reconciliation and to facilitate disarmament: and

$65,000 on generators for the University of Liberia and JFK hospital.

The balance has been earmarked for emergency assistance to persons affected by the fighting, a demobilisation programme, trauma counselling and further support to the public information campaign.
