§ 55. Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will increase the financial provisions for emergency relief supplies to South Vietnam to cover the trebling in the number of refugees, following the invasion by the regular forces of North Vietnam, since the original provision was made.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleOur contribution of £10,000 worth of supplies for refugee relief was in response to a request from the Vietnamese and was intended only to meet immediate and urgent needs which they themselves had difficulty in dealing with. Reports that I have received indicate that the Government of the Republic of Vietnam now have the refugee supply situation under control.
