HC Deb 03 December 1951 vol 494 cc2026-7
60. Mr. A. Edward Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund has not been provided by its constituent member States with enough funds to enable it to carry out the programme already approved: and whether he will make a substantial payment to the fund to enable the good work to continue and encourage other nations to do the same.

62. Dr. Barnett Stross

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund has not been provided by its constituent member States with enough funds to enable it to carry out the programme approved by the member States themselves; and whether he will make a further substantial contribution to the fund.

Mr. Eden

I am informed that the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund will have enough money to cover all the projects recommended by the Administration for 1952.

The answer to the second parts of the Questions is that His Majesty's Government have already contributed £100,000 to this organisation in 1951 and are considering a further contribution.
