HL Deb 07 July 1997 vol 581 c58WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What part of the 1.2 billion dollars owed by the United States to the United Nations would, if paid, come to the United Kingdom as payment for past peacekeeping operations; which such peacekeeping operations were approved by the United States; and which were not.

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

It will be for the United Nations to allocate funds when they are received from the United States. The United Kingdom is owed about £51 million in reimbursement from the UN for four peacekeeping operations, all of which were approved by the United States.
