HC Deb 05 July 1999 vol 334 c361W
Mr. Swayne

To ask the Prime Minister what measures he will take to prevent Governments providing Serbia with funds to repair bridges whilst President Milosevic remains in power. [88084]

The Prime Minister

We have no plans to provide reconstruction assistance as long as Milosevic remains in power; we do of course support the UNHCR programmes and others which offer humanitarian aid to the Serbian people. We believe that this approach is widely shared by our partners and allies. We are discouraging other countries from providing reconstruction assistance, but there are no legal means to stop them.
