HC Deb 16 April 1957 vol 568 c175W
15. Mr. H. Wilson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what answer his Department has given to the proposal made to the Treasury by the United Nations Association and representatives of various church organisations, that Her Majesty's Treasury should undertake a savings drive to enable the Government to make a significant contribution to the proposed Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

It has been explained to representatives of the United Nations Association that it would be contrary to Government policy to allow the National Savings Movement to be used for special objects of this kind.
