Mr. John Page

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list all international bodies to which the Government contribute more than £5,000 per year, showing United Nations departments separately, stating the amount of the Government's contribution, the headquarters of the body concerned, the total income from all sources and the salary of the chief executive.

Mr. Mulley

A list of most of the international bodies to which the Government contributed in 1968–69 is contained in Table VIII, "Subscriptions etc. to International Organisations", of Cmnd. 3583, "Estimates 1968–69", a copy of which I am sending to the hon. Member. The Government contributed sums exceeding £5,000 to fifty of these bodies. In addition, the following are estimates of contributions made to United Nations Agencies:

received from the Government of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla regarding the agreement recently signed by the Minister of State on Anguilla.

Mr. Whitlock

Communications between Governments are confidential; but I can say that my right hon. Friend has had useful and friendly discussions with Mr. Bradshaw in Washington.

Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a further statement about the situation in Anguilla.

Mr. M. Stewart

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend, the Member for Lancaster (Mr. Henig).
