HC Deb 28 November 1949 vol 470 c68W
50. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the present state of the United Nations International Children's Fund; and what further contributions to it are expected.

Mr. Mayhew

The Children's Fund has now allocated to various countries and regions the full total of all its unallocated monies, the equivalent of some 12 million dollars. We do not know what further contributions are expected, although it is open to any Government to contribute at any time. It is also possible that further funds may be received from the proceeds of any voluntary appeals which are being held.
