HC Deb 07 December 1970 vol 808 cc19-20W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what success Her Majesty's Government have had in bringing about economies in the United Nations Organisation and its Agencies.

Mr. Godber

Her Majesty's Government, in collaboration with the other principal contributors, are continually scrutinising the budgets of the United Nations and its Agencies and suggesting administrative economies. It is our aim to ensure that expenditure is kept within reasonable limits and within the capacity of the Agency concerned to make effective use of the funds available to it. The results of our efforts cannot be precisely quantified.
