Hyndasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what amounts were contributed, respectively, by the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, to the work of relief, rehabilitation and resettlement of refugees and displaced persons through the International Refugee Organisation; and what are the amounts they are now contributing to the work of the United Nations High Commissioner's Office for Refugees.
§ Mr. NuttingDuring the lifetime of the International Refugee Organisation the following contributions were made by the countries concerned: United Kingdom, 76 million dollars; United States, 237 million dollars. The U.S.S.R. was not a member of the International Refugee Organisation and did not therefore contribute.
