HC Deb 17 November 1983 vol 48 cc525-6W
Dr. Bray

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what support he has given to the United Kingdom's continuing participation in the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Her Majesty's Government are giving no financial support to the United Kingdom's continuing participation in the International Institute of Applied systems Analysis in Vienna. However, I understand that efforts are being made to continue support using private sector money. at £266 million for 1984–85. Within this provision it is expected that the real volume of capital investment should be maintained at about the same level as in 1982–83. and that average charges increases will be broadly in line with the RPI.

An extra £25 million has been allocated to the PSA in 1984–85 mainly for the maintenance of the civil estate.
