Mr. Lester
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which United Nations agencies have received funding from Her Majesty's Government for work in Cambodia; if the £1·25 million announced to support United Nations work in Cambodia has been fully utilised by United Nations agencies; and if more funds will be made available to them.
Mrs. Chalker
Since the Government reviewed their policy towards Cambodia in November 1989 the following allocations have been made to United Nations agencies:
1989–90
UNICEF—£0·25 million for immunisation, water supply and sanitation, pre-primary education and textbook production.
1990–91
UNICEF—£0·5 million for health, nutrition, water and sanitation.
World Health Organisation £0·2 million anti-malaria programme.
World Food Programme—£0·3 million for rice in support of UNICEF's well and pond digging programme.
These funds are being used by the agencies to support their current programmes in Cambodia. We are monitoring progress and we are prepared in due course to consider providing further support for their work.
