(2) if he will list the international organisations lo which his Department gives grants or makes contributions; and how much was paid to each in the last financial year.

Mr. Rifkind

The following payments in respect of grants and contributions to international organisations and non-official bodies were made in the financial year 1981–82. Where final figures for 1981–82 are not available, estimated outturns have been given.

A number of payments might properly be included in both lists, but, to avoid duplication, have been restricted to the lists considered most appropriate.
