§ Mr. Atkinsonasked the Minister for Overseas Development if he will ask the United Nations representative, Mr. Ivor Richard, to seek support for a second international appeal to help the refugees in Cyprus not only with currency but material aid such as housing, civil engineering equipment and essential goods not now available in Cyprus as a means of assisting the refugees overcome their desperate situation.
§ Mr. PrenticeI regard this as best left to the judgment of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, who co-ordinates international relief assistance effort for Cyprus. Two international appeals have already been made by or on behalf of the UNHCR—to both of which Her Majesty's Government responded generously—and he has indicated that he would welcome further individual contributions, such as that subsequently made by the British Government last Ocotber.
