HC Deb 10 May 1922 vol 153 cc2206-7W
Mr. D. DAVIES

asked the Home Secretary whether any scheme Has been submitted to the Government for the bringing to British homes of about 250 children from the Russian famine area; whether under this scheme the Governments of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia are willing to co-operate in sharing the cost and service of conveying these children free of expense to England, and of arranging for the necessary quarantine; whether this proposal has been declined; and, if so, the reasons for doing so?
