Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the 107 million dollars that the United Nations purportedly owes the United States which is mentioned in a United States Senate Bill authorizing part of the back payments which the United States owes to the United Nations; and whether this debt is generally recognised. [HL3612]
