HC Deb 03 November 2003 vol 412 c496W
Mr. Gardiner

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what efforts he is making to assist the Jordanian Government in reducing congestion in the port of Agaba and the delays this is causing to humanitarian shipments destined for Iraq. [135115]

Hilary Benn

DFID is not currently assisting the Jordanian Government. However, we understand that, despite the congestion in the port, the Jordanian Government are continuing to provide support to the World Food Programme to ensure the timely delivery of food and non-food items into Iraq.
