The right hon. Member for Streatham (Mr. Sandys) has properly pointed out that this is not a Single Crisis but a double crisis which has been going on at different levels.

The point I was seeking to advance was that just as a few weeks ago we on these benches wouldnot have thought that within days, if not hours, we should be facing the Biggest Single Crisis - in the Middle East - that has arisen since the Berlin blockade, so we could be faced with a new crisis which would call on all our resources and imaginative thinking to overcome it.

That is the largest total sum that the UK has ever committed to a Single Crisis.

5 billion - the largest total sum that the UK has ever committed to a Single Crisis.

In the UK's annual address to the General Assembly, the Deputy Prime Minister confirmed an additional £100 million in UK assistance, bringing our total humanitarian contribution to date to £500 million, the largest ever British response to a Single Crisis.

My hon. Friend the Member for Congleton is right to point out that we have provided more than £500 million of humanitarian aid - the largest ever UK response to a Single Crisis.

The UK has now provided half a billion pounds in aid - the largest sum our country has ever committed to a Single Crisis.

This is the largest sum we have ever committed to a Single Crisis.

We want to help build stability in the countries these migrants come from and we are engaging in the largest-ever humanitarian response to a Single Crisis.
