HC Deb 12 December 1972 vol 848 cc78-9W
54. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what payments have been made to date since 1st August to the Ugandan Asians.

Mr. Dean

If my hon. Friend has in mind social security benefits, the information requested is not available because the amounts paid are not recorded separately.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why he has not had discussions with the Uganda Resettlement Board; and whether he will arrange to meet the board to discuss the problems of the resettlement of the Ugandan Asians.

Mr. Dean

My right hon. Friend sees no need to meet the board at present.
