61 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the aid he has given and proposes to give to assist the people of Sudan in the current crisis; and if he will reappoint a development officer to Sudan.
A sum of £215,000 has been provided bilaterally this year to assist emergency relief operations in Sudan in the current crisis. Last year £375,000 was allocated to Sudan from the disaster relief fund.
The Government are keeping the situation in Sudan under constant review. I cannot at this stage specify what future allocations will be.
