§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what financial contribution was made by the United Kingdom to the UN Centre for Economic and Social Information in 1974 and 1975; and what contribution will be made in 1976.
§ Mr. LuardMost of the administrative costs of the United Nations Centre for Economic and Social Information are borne by the regular budget, to which the United Kingdom pays an assessed 271W contribution of 5.31 per cent. The United Kingdom has in the past not made any other contribution to the centre's programmes and activities, nor is there any provision for one in the 1976 Estimates. but the question of possible future contributions is under discussion.
