HL Deb 08 November 1995 vol 566 c12WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What proportion of the humanitarian relief supplies to which the Overseas Development Administration has contributed during the past year for the victims of conflict in former Yugoslavia has reached those in greatest need; and what action they are taking to increase this proportion in the months ahead.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

All ODA's direct humanitarian aid to former Yugoslavia reaches needy victims. There are claims that some supplies, to which ODA and other donors contribute through support to UN and non-government relief agencies, are misappropriated: but the amounts are judged to be small and, in a war, unavoidable.
