To ask the Secretary of State for International Development in respect of the flooding, what action is being taken to assist the humanitarian relief effort in Poland; and if she will make a statement. [10676]

Clare Short

We have provided £100,000 through the United Nations department of humanitarian affairs for the provision of medical supplies to the flood victims in southern Poland. We also provided advice on identifying water engineers to assist in dispersing the flood water. We are in contact with the Polish authorities about further help that we might provide.
