Proceeding contribution from Douglas Alexander (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Burma.


Burma

I give the hon. Gentleman the assurance that he was looking for. The funds that we are providing for immediate humanitarian assistance to Burma are additional to the programme funding that we would otherwise have provided. That will continue to be the approach as we reflect on the flash appeal and the need for further assistance in the days and weeks to come.
