HC Deb 07 February 1973 vol 850 c140W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what, in the case of Piddlehinton Camp, was the average cost per Asian including camp renovation, food and services; and what was the total cost.

Mr. Lane

A preliminary estimate puts the total cost of preparing and using Piddlehinton Camp as a resettlement centre at between £80,000 and £90,000. This would give an average cost per refugee of between £180 and £190.
