§ Mrs. Millie Millerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the United Nations arrangements for the administration of the Voluntary Fund for International Decade for Women have yet been endorsed, so that the United Kingdom grant promised to projects for women in poorer countries in rural areas during International Women's Year can be paid.
§ Mr. LuardThe General Assembly of the United Nations is expected to adopt the resolution on the Voluntary Fund for the United Nations Decade on Women in the next few days. As soon as the resolution has been adopted, the United Kingdom Mission to the United Nations will make a formal offer of our contribution of £200,000 to the Secretary-General and, when we have had the Secretary-General's reply confirming that our conditions have been accepted, the transaction will be completed and an announcement made.
