HL Deb 01 March 1982 vol 427 c1169WA
Lord Brockway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have reconsidered their intention to withhold a contribution to the United Nations trust fund for the education of exiles and refugees from South Africa; if so, what is to be the amount of the contribution, and how this contribution compares with those from other Governments.

Lord Trefgarne

Subject to parliamentary approval, Her Majesty's Government intend to contribute £50,000 to the United Nations Education and Training Programme for Southern Africa in 1982. It is not possible to say at this stage how this contribution compares with those from other Governments, as pledges to the programme are traditionally made at the annual ceremony to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on 21st March.
