HC Deb 26 February 1953 vol 511 c2296
43. Lord Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what contributions in clothing and finance the United States Forces in Britain made towards helping victims of the recent flood disaster.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I understand that the United States Air Forces in this country have made a contribution of £11,749 to the Lord Mayor's Flood and Tempest Relief Fund. In addition, there have been generous individual gifts from members of those Forces, both of clothing and of money. I am glad to have this further opportunity of expressing our great appreciation of the help we have received from American Service men and their families in this country.
