Northern Ireland: EU Funding to Victims' Organisations
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
- Which victims' organisations benefited from the European Union Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the Border Counties of Ireland 1995–99; by how much each organisation benefited; and what are their geographical location and remit. [HL3389]
The Lord Privy Seal (Lord Williams of Mostyn): The information requested is not readily available in the format requested. The attached annexe does however provide the names of the groups which were granted funding under Measures 4.4 and 4.6 of the European Union Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation (Peace 1) and the amount of grant awarded. Since the introduction of Peace 1, victims' groups have received over £2.7 million.
The list does not include the geographical location or specify the purpose of the grant as this information is not available. Grants were however awarded for a variety of reasons including salaries for project workers and funding for support programmes and self-help groups.

Register of Lords' Interests
Lord Faulkner of Worcester asked the Leader of the House:
- Whether membership of a secret society should be declared in the new Register of Members' Interests. [HL3773]
Lord Williams of Mostyn: Questions about the entries in the new Register of Lords' Interests should, in the first instance, be directed to the Registrar of Lords' Interests. The registrar consults whenever necessary the Sub-committee on Lords' Interests, and Members should accept his advice in determining whether any particular interest is relevant or significant for the purposes of the register. A Member who acts on the advice of the registrar in determining what is a relevant interest satisfies fully the requirements of the code of conduct.
Cambodian Embassy
Baroness Billingham asked Her Majesty's Government:
- Whether the Foreign and Commonwealth Office continues to control the proceeds from the sale of the former Cambodian Embassy in London.[HL3693]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Amos): The proceeds from the sale of the former Cambodian Embassy premises and subsequent interest thereon, amounting in total to £2.6 million, were transferred to the Foreign Ministry of Cambodia on 21 March. We hope that the Cambodian Government will use these funds to establish a permanent diplomatic presence in the UK.
