World Refugee Year

HC Deb 09 June 1959 vol 606 cc80-1W

57. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will make known to schools, churches, colleges, universities and other interested bodies the aims and purposes of the World Refugee Year.

Mr. J. Amery

In bringing the World Refugee Year to the attention of Colonial Governments, my right hon. Friend has pointed out the desirability of giving the aims of the Year wide publicity. I have little doubt that this publicity will in fact extend to bodies in those territories of the kind to which the hon. Member refers. I will, however, see that the particular point raised by the hon. Member is also specifically brought to the notice of Governments.
