A sizeable number of files would need to be reviewed to answer this question. DFID’s database shows over 500 files for the department which dealt with the Overseas Territories for file period 1995/97 alone. It costs £1.50 to access each file. The costs associated with archive research covering the period 1994 to 2004 would therefore be considerable. In addition to financial costs there would also be substantial associated staff costs with carrying out this archive research. On the basis of the disproportionate cost threshold for written questions, it was assessed that this information could not be collated without incurring disproportionate cost.

No request for assistance was made by the Indian Government. A decision to not provide support was taken following a comprehensive assessment. The immediate humanitarian crisis is now over and compensation for those impacted by the floods has been announced by the Government.
