Permanent Disaster Relief Contact Point

EDM number 35 in 1999-00, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 17/11/1999.

That this House congratulates the relief agencies on their efforts in response to the crisis in the Balkans, but regrets the delay in co-ordinating a response which left many people frustrated and angry that they were unable to offer personal contributions to the disaster relief effort; and calls upon the Government to create in partnership with non-governmental organisations a permanent disaster relief contact point with a published emergency hotline phone number where offers of assistance can be logged while a substantive response is co-ordinated.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
