§ Dr. Marshallasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will list those local authorities which have informed the Ugandan Resettlement Board that they are able to provide housing accommodation for refugees from Uganda.
§ Mr. LaneThe board has received offers of more than 1,700 dwellings from local authorities. Other authorities are still considering whether they can help the board in this way. I do not think that it would be appropriate to publish a list.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the Government's decision to give £50,000. to the fund to help the poor and homeless persons from Uganda; and what similar sums the Government have made available for the use of poor and homeless persons in Great Britain prior to August, 1972.
§ Mr. LaneI would refer the hon. Member to the answer given to a Question by the hon. Member for Leek (Mr. Knox) on 20th November. It would require too long a reply to set out all Government expenditure from which poor and homeless people benefit.—[Vol. 846, c. 295.]
