HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 c295W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement about the establishment of a charitable fund in respect of Ugandan Asians, and the Government's contribution to it.

Mr. R. Carr

The Ugandan Asian Relief Trust has now been set up under Lord Sainsbury as chairman to provide help to Ugandan Asian refugees to establish themselves in the community. The Government are making a contribution of £50,000 to the relief fund. Arrangements have been made for an advance to be made from the Contingencies Fund pending the presentation of a Supplementary Estimate to Parliament in due course.
