HC Deb 27 May 1957 vol 571 c8
12. Mr. Collins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs when the United Kingdom's annual contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency will be paid.

Mr. Ian Harvey

My right hon. and learned Friend gave this information to the House in detail in the course of his speech on 16th May.

Mr. Collins

Is the Minister aware that the funds of the organisation which is looking after Arab refugees in Jordan are said to be almost exhausted? Will he give an assurance that the organisation will receive funds in sufficient time to enable it to continue its work and avoid consequences which otherwise might be disastrous?

Mr. Harvey

I can only draw attention to the assurance given by my right hon. and learned Friend. Of course, we cannot give any assurance on the part of other Governments about their contributions.
