HC Deb 17 June 1959 vol 607 c37W
17. Mr. Randall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is now in a position to state what contribution Her Majesty's Government will make in response to the special appeal of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for a relief fund to aid Algerian refugees in Tunisia and Morocco.

Mr. R. Allan

The United Nations High Commissioner has made a special appeal for edible oil for the Algerian refugees. Subject to Parliamentary approval, therefore, Her Majesty's Government propose to make about £13,000 available to the League of Red Cross Societies, for the purchase and freight of one month's supply of oil for the use of these refugees.
