HC Deb 26 March 1952 vol 498 cc56-7W
74. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many recipients now receive assistance from the Czechoslovak Refugee Fund; and how many of these are new applicants during the past two years.

Sir H. Lucas-Tooth

I am informed by the Trustees that the Czech Refugee Fund is giving weekly maintenance payments to 521 persons, of whom about 300 first applied for assistance during the past two years. In addition, 890 persons have during the last two years been given financial assistance for emigration and resettlement.
