HC Deb 16 November 1979 vol 973 c805W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal if, as part of the current expenditure cuts, he will seek a reduction in the net £80 million plus that the United Kingdom spends on United Nations organisations each year.

Mr. Hurd

Expenditure on the United Nations is, in common with other programmes of public expenditure, under review. But most of it is an unavoidable consequence of our membership.
