§ Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will publish a 131W list of all members of the United Nations who are in arrears over their annual contribution to the Budget, to the Special Accounts and to the Specialised Agencies, respectively, giving in each case the approximate amount owing to the United Nations.
§ Mr. George ThomsonThe outstanding assessed contributions of Member States to the United Nations, the Specialised Agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency at the 31st December, 1966, are shown in Tables A to N below. The totals given at the foot of Tables B to N and the figures given in Table A, where these totals are brought together, are based on the rounded figures attributed to individual Member States and are therefore approximations. Since the 31st December, 1966, several of the outstanding assessed contributions shown in the Tables have been wholly or partly paid. In some cases the amounts outstanding are due to refusal to pay as a matter of principle. In other cases they reflect differences in financial procedure between certain countries and the United Nations organisation concerned.
It will be noted that at the date in question there were no outstanding assessed contributions attributable to the United Kingdom.
