HC Deb 19 June 2000 vol 352 c15W
Mr. Maude

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what is the gap between aid provided and aid needs in 2000 for refugee return in Bosnia-Herzegovina. [126641]

Clare Short

The UNHCR's consolidated appeal for Bosnia-Herzegovina (BH) for 2000 is for $38 million to support 130,000 vulnerable displaced persons and refugees. $352,000 has so far been earmarked by donors for the appeal. We understand that UNHCR will transfer non-earmarked funds to the appeal. We do not have information on bilateral commitments separate from the UNHCR appeal. Our own bilateral commitment for 2000 is £800,000, bringing our total commitment to £1.6 million.
