HC Deb 07 February 1995 vol 254 c173W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which British aid organisations are currently involved in providing humanitarian assistance in Liberia.

Mr. Baldry

The Save the Children Fund is currently providing health care to displaced persons in Greater Monrovia and Bomi county. We are unaware of any other British aid organisations currently operating in Liberia.

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if humanitarian assistance in Liberia outside Monrovia has now been resumed.

Mr. Baldry

There has been some resumption of humanitarian aid outside Monrovia, but this is essentially exploratory and small scale. The British Government have provided over £3 million of emergency aid bilaterally to Liberia since April 1993.
