HC Deb 03 June 1946 vol 423 cc258-9W
Mr. O'Brien

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what are the total administrative costs of the U. N. R. R. A. operations in Italy; and who meets these expenses, U. N. R. R. A. or the Italian Government.

Mr. McNeil

The figures for U. N. R. R. A. administrative costs in particular countries are not at present available. I am, however, informed that expenditure in local currency which represents by far the greater part of the administrative expenditure of the U. N. R. R. A. Mission in Italy, is met by the Italian Government. Expenditure in other currency, which consists mainly of monthly family allotments by U. N. R. R. A. personnel working in Italy, is met by the administration from the contributions of member Governments.
