HC Deb 28 January 1957 vol 563 c109W
72. Sir F. Medlicott

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the many demands made upon the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, he will agree to an increase in the contribution to be made by Great Britain for the next three years.

Mr. Ian Harvey

As my right hon. Friend told the House on 22nd January in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Hale) Her Majesty's Government propose to increase their contribution to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund by £20,000, making a total of £220,000 for 1957. My right hon. and learned Friend is not in a position to make any commitment about our contributions in future years.
