HL Deb 07 June 1999 vol 601 c142WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether in their view countries whose armed forces have most damaged the civil infrastructure of Serbia, including Kosovo, should pay for its reconstruction; and, if not, why not. [HL2608]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

As the Government have spelt out on several occasions, President Milosevic bears primary responsibility for the failure to find a peaceful solution to the Kosovo crisis. But we are actively working with our European partners and others to develop plans for refugee return and economic reconstruction.
