HC Deb 25 March 1936 vol 310 cc1242-3W
Lieut.-Commander FLETCHER

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what relationship, if any, now exists between the Nansen office for refugees and the International Labour Office; and if the International Labour Office will have any part in drawing up a report for the League of Nations Assembly and in the arrangements for the future work of the Nansen office?

Viscount CRANBORNE

The governing body of the Nansen International Office for Refugees includes a representative of the International Labour Office. The point raised in the second part of the question is a matter for the acting-president of the governing body of the office, who has been entrusted by the Council of the League of Nations with the task of submitting a special report to the Assembly concerning the question of future international assistance for these refugees. In the performance of this task he may have recourse to the technical assistance of the services of the Secretariat and he may occasionally procure the advice of experts.
