§ Mr. Millanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what financial contribution the Government are making to the European public campaign on North-South interdependence and solidarity organised by the Council of Europe; and if he will make it his policy to devote to this campaign at least as great a level of resources as that put into other campaigns organised by the Council of Europe.
§ Mr. Chris PattenWe are meeting the expenses incurred by the British representative to the European organising committee and bureau. While supporting the aims of the Council of Europe's North-South awareness campaign, we believe that non-governmental organisations are best placed to carry forward the campaign in Britain. Other Council of Europe campaigns have dealt with a wide variety of subjects, and are not directly comparable. Each case is considered on its merits.
