HL Deb 18 February 1987 vol 484 cc1199-200WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they and other governments are taking to maintain and if necessary increase the resources of the International Narcotics Control Board, given that in 1986 the board was unable to carry out all its responsibilities under the 1971 convention.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Young)

We remain committed to support effective UN bodies such as the International Narcotics Control Board. We meet our financial obligations in full and are working with our partners for solutions which will deal in the short term with shortfalls in income and will restore a stable level of funding.
