§ 56. Sir C. KINLOCH-COOKEasked the Prime Minister whether he can say if the Government have recently received a sum of £3,661 3s. 4d. from the New Zealand Government to be used in the relief of distress in the United Kingdom; and, if so, will he say what Department administers this relief, and how the money is distributed; and can he see his way to give a list of contributions in money and in kind received from the Oversea Dominions for the same purpose?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the COLONIES (Mr. Harcourt)No, Sir. The sum in question and many other similar remittances have, I understand, been received by the High Commissioner for New Zealand from the New Zealand Government, and are being distributed by him to various committees which are organising the relief of distress in this country. For particulars of the contributions in money and kind which have been received from His Majesty's Oversea Dominions, I would refer the hon. Member to Parliamentary Papers Cd. 7608 and Cd. 7646. A further Blue Book giving particulars of the other gifts which have been received from the Oversea Dominions and Colonies will shortly be laid before Parliament.
