asked the Lord Privy Seal in view of the additional problems created for the refugees in Tunisia and Morocco as a result of the agreement between the French Government and the Algerian Provisional Government on a cease fire, if he will increase Her Majesty's Government's contribution to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

It is too early to judge whether additional problems have been or will be created for these refugees as a result of the event foreseen by the hon. Gentleman, nor do I know what provision will be made for them by the Governments primarily responsible in such an event.The question of an increased contribution by Her Majesty's Government does not therefore at present arise.
