§ 43. Mr. Loveridgeasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United Nations to institute an international fund for the relief of distress caused by national and man-made disasters.
§ Mr. AmeryWe played a leading part in establishing the office of the United Nations Disaster Relief Co-ordinator. But we doubt whether a Special Fund would increase the total volume of aid available for disasters.
Such aid is probably best provided by existing arrangements for voluntary fund raising and direct provision of relief by individual governments.
