§ Mr. MaddenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much Her Majesty's Government contribute to United Nations programmes to clear mines in(a) Cambodia and (b) other countries; and if he will make a statement. [23100]
§ Mr. Baldry[holding answer 10 May 1995]: Since April 1992 we have contributed a total of £4.96 million to UN de-mining programmes. Of this, £2.133 million was for Cambodia, £2.5 million for Afghanistan, £226,000 for Angola and £100,000 for the Yemen. In addition, in March 1995 we paid £500,000 into the UN voluntary fund for mine clearance. We shall continue to consider UN requests as helpfully as possible.
