9. Mrs. Butlerasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what funds have been allocated by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund to the Government of Uganda to date; and what proportion of these funds have been allocated to the Government Child Welfare Unit.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe Answer is, 360,500 United States dollars—£128,750—up to September, 1958.
It is not possible to answer the second part of the Question precisely because U.N.I.C.E.F. assistance is generally provided in the form of supplies and equipment purchased by it from the funds allocated to a project.
Mrs. ButlerWould the Minister consider discussing with the Government of Uganda whether enough of the money is being allocated to preventive health work among children, bearing in mind the very widespread malnutrition among children in Uganda?
§ Mr. ProfumoI shall certainly consider bringing this matter to the attention of the Governor.
