HC Deb 28 June 1966 vol 730 c1560
6. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Overseas Development in how many cases of unilateral aid to other Governments he makes conditions about help to refugees and their treatment.

Mr. Greenwood

None, Sir.

Mr. Digby

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that in the opinion of some of those in very close touch with the refugee problem more could be done in this way than in any other? Will the Government look at this again if they are interested in the serious problem of the refugee?

Mr. Greenwood

This is a new aspect of development aid which the hon. Gentleman is putting to us, and I suspect that it is probably more a matter for my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary than for myself, but I will gladly consider the point that he is making.
