HC Deb 26 July 1922 vol 157 c484W
Major GLYN

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, seeing that £278,000 was spent in 1921–22 for the relief of Armenian refugees in Iraq and previous to that date £900,000, he will say what sum has been spent in relieving the necessities of penniless British subjects resident within the Turkish Empire during the same period?

Mr. HARMSWORTH

The expenditure defrayed in the year 1921–22 for the relief of distressed British subjects in Turkey was £17,640. Of this sum £2,850 has been repaid by the recipients.
