HC Deb 19 March 1964 vol 691 c218W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further action Her Majesty's Government are taking to support United Nations civilian operations in the Congo.

Mr. R. A. Butler

In response to an appeal from the Secretary-General for funds to enable United Nations civilian operations to continue in the Congo during 1964, Her Majesty's Government have agreed to contribute a further sum of $500,000. Parliament will be asked in due course to vote this amount during the financial year 1964–65, by means of a Supplementary estimate on the Foreign Grants and Loans Vote. Should payment be required before the money can be voted, an advance will be obtained from the Civil Contingencies Fund.
