HC Deb 20 April 1921 vol 140 c1856
31. Mr. BRIANT

asked the Minister of Health the amount, if any, still available for the relief of British refugees from Russia; and how many are still being assisted?

The MINISTER of HEALTH (Sir Alfred Mond)

A sum of £3,000 has been placed at the disposal of the voluntary committee which is undertaking the care of these refugees, and I am informed that a balance of £2,800 is still available. The number of persons now being assisted by the committee is 54.

Mr. BRIANT

Can the right hon. Gentleman say anything about the other 350 British refugees who are not receiving any relief? Are they employed, or what becomes of them?

Sir A. MOND

Perhaps the hon. Member will give me notice of that question.
