§ Colonel DAYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what measure of relief has been afforded Christian refugees in Mosul?
§ Mr. AMERYI presume that the question refers to the Christian rufugees from the Goyan who escaped from the Turkish deportations of last autumn. As the House was informed on the 7th of December, the Iraq Government is doing its utmost to assist these refugees, and has, I understand, already provided a sum of some £15,000 for relief measures, exclusive of amounts expended upon the free distribution of seed grain. In addition, as hon. Members may have learnt from the Press, a jam of approximately £20,000 has been subscribed in this country in response to an appeal for funds for the relief of these and other Christian refugees in Iraq.
