HC Deb 26 January 1955 vol 536 cc33-4W
Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what offers of assistance were made by Her Majesty's Government to the President of the United States of America as a result of the widespread devastation caused by the hurricanes Carol and Edna in the United States of America on 31st August and 11th September, 1954, respectively; if such offers were accepted; and what assistance was actually given.

Mr. Turton

No offers of assistance were made by Her Majesty's Government. The staffs of Her Majesty's Embassy, Missions and Consulates in the United States privately subscribed $500 for the restoration of the Old North Church steeple in Boston damaged by the hurricane Carol.
