§ 29. Mr. Mathewasked the Lord Privy Seal what financial or other contribution was made last year, and what contribution it is proposed to make during the coming year, to the International Institute for the Unification of Private International Law in Rome.
§ Mr. P. ThomasA contribution of £350 was made for last year. It is proposed to pay the same amount for the present year.
§ Mr. MathewI am grateful for that reply, but will not my hon. Friend look at this matter again for next year, in view of the immensely valuable work, not least in this country, being done by this Institute? Will he ask his right hon. Friend to raise the sum to an amount more realistic and more compatible with the work being done in Rome?
§ Mr. ThomasThe question of increasing our contribution is under consideration in the light of the proposals made at the Tenth Session of the General Assembly of the Institute.
