HC Deb 01 March 1960 vol 618 c130W
69. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how much of the promised contribution of £200,000 by the Government to the World Refugee Year Fund has so far been contributed; when the full amount is expected to be paid; and, in view of the contributions made by individuals, if he is yet able to say whether the Government will increase the amount promised.

Mr. R. Allan

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to the replies I gave on 26th January to the hon. Member for Wednesbury (Mr. Stonehouse) and on 22nd February to the hon. Member for Erith and Crayford (Mr. Dodds). We propose to pay a further £50,000 of our pledged contribution to the United Kingdom Committee for World Refugee Year later this month, and the balance of £100,000 in April.
