HC Deb 13 March 1989 vol 149 c45W
Dr. Thomas

To ask the Prime Minister if she will make it her policy to initiate an international campaign to achieve a doubling of the funding of the United Nations environment programme.

The Prime Minister

The United Kingdom's contribution to the voluntary fund of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is to be more than doubled to £3 million. At UNEP's governing council in May we will be calling on those nations that can afford it to make similar increases.
