§ Hilary Benn[pursuant to his reply, 3 March 2004, Official Report, c. 921 W]: The European Commission is funding targeted food aid to North Korea through the World Food Programme and other organisations. In January it agreed to give 5 million euros. The UK contributed around £680,000 to this, not £3,338,000 as stated in the previous answer.
