HC Deb 11 June 2003 vol 406 c921W
Adam Price

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on recent events in the Democratic Republic of Congo. [118020]

Mr. Rammell

We remain concerned by the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly the humanitarian crisis in the north-eastern Ituri region. An Interim Emergency Multinational Force (IEMF) has been mandated by UN Security Council Resolution 1484 to contribute to the stabilisation of the security conditions and the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Bunia. The UK has undertaken to participate in the IEMF.
