HC Deb 20 December 1956 vol 562 c205W
6. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements have been made to keep Hungarian refugees in this country informed of such news as may become available of friends, relatives and conditions at home.

Major Lloyd-George

I am informed that the British Red Cross Society, in agreement with the British Council for Aid to Refugees, is dealing with inquiries from refugees here for missing relatives, and the International Committee of the Red Cross proposes to set up a central index of all Hungarian refugees which should assist in dealing with inquiries of this kind. The dissemination of general information about conditions in Hungary is most suitably carried out by the normal machinery of a free Press and radio broadcasting.
