§ 84. Mr. Remnantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he has now taken to relieve hardship and distress among the British civilians evacuated from Egypt.
Mr. ButlerRefugees are helped to join relatives or friends here, or are accommodated in hostels provided by the Government if they have nowhere else to go. The Government have made a grant of £100,000 to the Anglo-Egyptian Aid Society to enable it to give prompt relief to those in need, and the Society has already helped some hundreds of refugees by making them temporary allowances. All possible efforts are being made by the Ministry of Labour to find jobs for these British subjects, and several voluntary organisations are helping the Government Departments concerned to deal with the refugees' problems and to facilitate their integration into the community.
