HC Deb 22 March 1995 vol 257 c282W
Mr. Gary Streeter

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance he is giving to the general programmes budget of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees in 1995.

Mr. Baldry

My noble Friend the Minister for Overseas Development has approved a grant of £6 million for UNHCRs general programmes budget for 1995. The UK is one of the foremost national donors of UNHCR; last year our contributions, both in direct payments and assistance in kind, exceeded £60 million in value, the highest level of contribution ever.
