HC Deb 23 February 1953 vol 511 cc1731-2
Mr. C. Davies

(by Private Notice) asked the Prime Minister whether his attention has been drawn to the generous gift of money for the Flood Relief Fund from the people of Russia and what steps he is taking to express to them the thanks of the British people?

The Prime Minister

I asked Monsieur Gromyko, the Soviet Ambassador, to call upon me so that I might express personally my thanks for this act of kindness, which is warmly appreciated by the British nation. Accordingly he visited me at 10, Downing Street this morning for the purpose. He undertook to convey my thanks and those of Her Majesty's Government to all concerned.
