HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 cc327-8W
Mr. Warbey

asked the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs what the proportion of the United Kingdom's total expenditure on the United Nations and the Specialised Agencies during 1964–65 forms of the estimated national income for the same period.

Mr. George Thomson

In 1963, we contributed £20,699,000, which amounted to .077 per cent. of the gross national product for that calendar year. Contributions for 1964 are expected to amount to some £24.08 million. It is not yet possible to say what proportion of the gross national product this will represent.
