HC Deb 25 April 1923 vol 163 c494W
Sir J. LEIGH

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many British refugees from Asia Minor are at present being cared for partly at the public expense in Malta and elsewhere; and what cost is likely to fall on British funds?

Mr. McNEILL

According to the latest figures available there are 272 British refugees from Smyrna distributed between Malta, Cyprus and Mitylene. The total cost to public funds of their relief is about £22 per diem.
