§ Mr. George Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will make a statement on the aid given to Pakistan after the recent cyclone to alleviate suffering in East Pakistan.
§ Mr. Cledwyn HughesIn mid-December, 1965, a cyclone caused damage and loss of life in East Pakistan, although I am glad to say not on as large a scale as was originally feared. Her Majesty's Government gave £7,500 to help to relieve distress among the fishing community, many of whom were temporarily deprived of their means of livelihood.
