HC Deb 01 August 1957 vol 574 c249W
Mr. Remnant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what total amount has been paid out for loans, grants, maintenance, and pensions to evicted British nationals from Egypt from 1st November, 1956, to the last date up to which figures are available.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The approximate amounts up to 30th June last are as follows:

£
Loans 11,000
Grants 300,000
Maintenance (a)in hostels 350,000
Maintenance (b)outside hostels 240,000

The Anglo-Egyptian Resettlement Board, which has been responsible for the greater part of this expenditure, has just published a brief report of its work which hon. Members may be interested to see. I have placed copies in the Library and in the Vote Office.
