§ Rear-Admiral SUETERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any money has been allotted to the Refugees Committee, of the International Labour Office to assist the Ukrainian refugees who escaped across the Russian forntier and are now in Rumania in a destituite condition; what is the total sum granted; by what countries or country is this charge borne; and who is responsible for its distribution?
§ Mr. EDENNo, Sir; the International Labour Office is not concerned with the relief of the refugees in question. I understand, however, that a grant of 10,000 Swiss francs has been allotted by the Nansen International Refugee Office, this sum being provided from that part of the budget of this organisation which is contributed solely by private subscription and by the refugees themselves. This grant is being administered by the head of the Nansen Office in consultation with the Rumanian authorities.
