Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 11 June 2007.
Iraq: Refugees
- Question
- My Lords, should we not be concentrating more of our resource on funding the International Committee of the Red Cross, because it has more credibility, having partners within Iraq, than many of the UN agencies, which have simply been discredited following the Oil for Food programme scandal?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we contributed about £7 million to the ICRC. It appealed for $75.5 million to provide emergency assistance to vulnerable people, including internally displaced people. I understand that the appeal has so far raised $21 million.
