HC Deb 21 July 1959 vol 609 c105W
92. Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what financial or other assistance he gives to the Voluntary Service Overseas Organisation.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Many of the Overseas Governments, however, provide pocket money, food, accommodation, medical care and internal transport for young volunteers from the United Kingdom. I should, however, like to take this opportunity of saying that I warmly endorse the objects of this organisation.
