HC Deb 22 July 1957 vol 574 cc16-7W
90. Mr. Remnant

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many British refugees from Egypt are still accommodated in camps; and what has been the cost to date.

Mr. R. A. Butler

There are 2,300 British subjects from Egypt at present accommodated in hostels by the Anglo-Egyptian Resettlement Board. It is estimated that the cost of running these hostels from the beginning of last December up to the end of June has been about £350,000.
