§ The Prime MinisterThe British Atlantic committee (BAC), whom we have consulted, receives no grant from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. NATO refund a proportion of the travelling costs of visits to NATO headquarters organised by the BAC and other voluntary associations affiliated to the Atlantic Treaty Association. In the case of the BAC, this amounted to £13,201.50 in 1984–85.
