asked the Minister of Labour what are the annual expenses of the I.L.O.; and what proportion of these are paid by Great Britain.

Mr. Ness Edwards:

The Budget of the International Labour Organisation fc 1946, on which contributions from States Members of the organisation are based amounts to 11,621,510 Swiss francs of which Great Britain is due to contribute the equivalent of 1,997,308 Swiss francs (approximately 17.2 per cent.). In addition, an amount of 100,000 Swiss francs is payable towards the Staff Pensions Fund, thus making Great Britain's total contribution 2,097,308 Swiss francs (approximately £121,230).
