Mr. HARMSWORTH

The total expenditure incurred in connection with Russian refugees is £1,108,336.

The total expenditure on Armenian refugees in Iraq is:

£
Estimates, 1921/22 278,000
Previous to 1921/22, rupees 135 lakhs = (at par) 900,000
£1,178,000

It is regretted that, several Departments being concerned, it is not possible to give at once the total expenditure incurred up-to-date in respect of:

  1. (1) Assyrian refugees;
  2. (2) Armenian refugees other than those in Iraq;
but the information is being obtained, and will be communicated to the hon. Member.
