§ Mr. Spearingasked the Prime Minister if she will set out in the Official Report the calculations giving rise to her estimate on 2 April, Official Report, column 1063, that the United Kingdom's contribution to integrated Mediterranean programmes will be £10 million a year.
§ The Prime MinisterThe amount of additional funds agreed for integrated Mediterranean programmes was 1.6 billion ecu—about £960 million—over seven years. As a result of the Fontainebleau agreement, the United Kingdom's net contribution to this will be 7 to 7.2 per cent. The total United Kingdom contribution will therefore be around £69 million spread over seven years, or less than £10 million per annum.
