§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the total United Kingdom contribution to the United Nations and all its related agencies for the most recent 12 months for which figures are available, and for the preceding 12 months; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarThe total United Kingdom contributions to the United Nations and its agencies in 1986 was £132,760,885. The equivalent amount in 1985 was £155,219,130. The fall in value of the dollar in which many budgets are assessed is in large part responsible for the difference.
