HC Deb 09 July 1956 vol 556 c2W
57. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give an approximate estimate of our expenditure in connection with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation from the signature of the Treaty to the end of 1955.

Lord John Hope

Our total contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation civil budget from 1949 to the end of 1955 was £1,103,000. The United Kingdom contribution to the military budget or to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Common Infrastructure is a matter for the Minister of Defence.
