HC Deb 16 December 1968 vol 775 cc243-4W
80. Mr. Frank Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the British contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency during the current financial year; and how this compares with the contribution in 1967–68.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

My right hon. and noble Friend the United Kingdom Permanent Representative at the United Nations announced at the U.N.R.W.A. Pledging Conference on 6th December that, subject to Parliamentary approval, we propose to contribute £1,875,000 to U.N.R.W.A's operational and administrative budgets for 1969. This sum is identical to the sum we contributed in 1968.
