HC Deb 08 March 1984 vol 55 cc670-1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the latest payment from the Contingencies Fund for Falklands-related purposes.

Mr. Hayhoe

The latest advance from the Contingencies Fund for Falklands-related purposes was £550,000, to the Vote for international subscriptions, special payments and so on — Foreign and Commonwealth Office—in order to pay compensation to Falkland islanders for loss of life, injury and damage to property in the Falkland Islands; this advance was made on 7 February 1983 and repaid to the Contingencies Fund on 18 February 1983 from a Supplementary Vote approved by Parliament.
