HC Deb 01 April 1976 vol 908 c530W
Mrs. Jeger

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the agreed amount of the United Kingdom contribution to the United Nations environment programme; and how much of this has been paid.

Mr. Crosland

The United Kingdom agreed to contribute to the United Nations Environment Fund over the five-year period 1973–77 5 per cent. of the pledges realised by other donors subject to an upper limit of £2 million. So far £970,000 has been paid, which is in line with our pledge.
