HC Deb 21 November 1996 vol 285 cc697-8W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the military assistance given by the UK to Rwanda and Zaire between 1 January 1991 and 31 December 1995; and what was the cost of such assistance. [5148]

Mr. Soames

No military assistance was provided to Zaire or Rwanda in that period. A member of the Royal Army Medical Corps has, however, provided assistance in 1995 to the independent international commission of inquiry set up at the request of the Government of Rwanda to investigate events surrounding deaths of an unknown number of persons at the Kibeho refugee camp.
