To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what support the (a) UK, (b) EU and (c) UN has pledged to aid the bringing to trial of those involved in the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; and when he expects talks on procedural issues to be resolved. (143224)

[pursuant to the reply, 18 June 2007, Official Report, c. 1473W]: I regret that an inaccurate answer was given by my right hon. Friend the Member for Makerfield (Mr. McCartney) the then Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department of Trade and Industry to part of the hon. Member’s question. The answer given states that the UK has contributed £1.5 million to the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. In fact, to date, £1 million has been contributed. Further payments will be made this year.
