HC Deb 13 June 2003 vol 406 cc275-6W
Mr. Key

To ask the Minister of State, Department for International Development, what assessment the Department has made of the World Food Programme report on the food situation in Côte dIvoire. [116628]

Hilary Benn

We monitor reports on the humanitarian situation in Cote dIvoire closely, including those produced by the World Food Programme. The situation continues to give cause for concern particularly in the west of the country. We have already provided around £1 million towards appeals from international agencies and NGOs working in Cote dIvoire, and are considering whether to make a further contribution in the light of the latest UN Consolidated Appeal.
