Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask Indonesia to support the appeal by United Nations Agencies for $200 million to meet emergency needs in the island of Timor. [H L34]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

It is for individual countries to decide whether they will contribute to the United Nations Consolidated Inter-Agency Appeal for East Timor in the light of their own economic and political circumstances.
