HC Deb 14 December 1972 vol 848 c185W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money was spent on Piddlehinton camp, from the time the decision was taken to prepare it for Ugandan Asians until the latest available date; how many Ugandan Asians occupied it; for what period; and at what cost per head.

Mr. Lane

Piddlehinton camp was used by the Uganda Resettlement Board as a resettlement centre from 19th October to 17th November. During that time 447 refugees passed through the centre. Final figures for the costs of preparing the camp for use and operating it as a resettlement centre are not yet available.
