HC Deb 15 January 1992 vol 201 c583W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what financial resources the United Kingdom has committed to the United Nations guards contingent in Iraq; and what proportion of the total budget for the contingent is contributed by the United Kingdom.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The United Kingdom initially committed $6,000,000 in cash and kind to the United nations guards contingent in Iraq. On 17 December 1991 it pledged a further $1,000,000. This constitutes approximately 14 per cent. of the total budget so far committed for the contingent.
