HC Deb 11 December 1978 vol 960 cc91-2W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what finance will be given by the Government to the Disarmament Pro- Ject Fund set up the Secretary-General of the United Nations for the purposes of studying the relationship between disarmament and development

Mr. Tomlinson:

The United Kingdom is actively participating in this study. Adequate finance for the study is being sought from the regular budget of the United Nations. It is not yet clear whether additional voluntary contributions will be needed from Governments, either via the Disarmament Project Fund or as direct financing for research work commissioned for the study.
