HC Deb 27 November 1952 vol 508 c91W
115. Mr. M. MacPherson

asked the Minister of Education what annual amount she expects to save through the recent decision to reduce the British contribution to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

Miss Horsbrugh

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister explained in an answer yesterday the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation has accepted for the two years 1953 and 1954 a budget of $18 million in place of $20 million proposed by the Director-General. The United Kingdom contribution to a budget of $20 million is estimated at about £810,000 and to a budget of $18 million at about £730,000.
