The statement I made regarding flooding in the Horn of Africa released on 28 November 2006, Official Report, column 102WS contained an error. The contribution to address the effects of acute watery diarrhoea in Ethiopia was for £0.8 million, not £l million, and was made in November not October. The total funding for the floods response is therefore £5.8 million not £6 million, and the total humanitarian expenditure since April 2005 is £50.6 million rather than £50.8 million.
