HC Deb 30 November 1960 vol 631 c59W
67. Mr. Randall

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will give the provisional statement of contributions in cash and kind from Governments, national committees and other sources in all participating countries for World Refugee Year to 30th September 1960; which countries gave the largest amounts per head of population; and what were their per capita contributions.

Mr. Heath

The answers to the Question are rather long and are contained in United Nations Document A/4546, a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Gentleman. There is also a copy available in the Library of the House. It may, however, be of interest to hon. Members to know that the United Kingdom's contribution in cash and kind to World Refugee Year as of 30th September was approximately £7¾ million and was the largest of all national contributions at that date. In contributions per head, the United Kingdom came third after Norway and New Zealand.
