HC Deb 10 February 1955 vol 536 c244W
89. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Minister of Education why the United Kingdom contribution to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation for 1955 has been reduced from £373,051 to £237,000.

Sir D. Eccles

Because, with the accession of new Member States, the United Kingdom will now contribute a smaller proportion of the Organisation's current expenditure and will this year also benefit from a credit of approximately £33,000 from the Working Capital Fund.
