HC Deb 14 December 1970 vol 808 c248W
Mr. Fidler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much in sterling equivalent has been contributed to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency by Great Britain, the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, France, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, the Lebanon, Jordan Libya and Sudan, respectively; what he estimates from figures available to him from international sources the percentage of their gross national product this represents in each case; and what amount per head of population in each case.

Mr. Godber

The figures for the proportion of Gross National Product represented by subscriptions to U.N.R.W.A. are based on the figures for Gross National Product in the latest year for which international statistics are available in each case, compared with contributions paid to U.N.R.W.A. by each country in that year. The amounts per head of population have been calculated on a similar basis.
