§ 21. Mr. Harry Greenway
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the level of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation information budget for the current year; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Garel-Jones
The NATO information budget for this year is about £3 million, to which the United Kingdom will contribute about £570,000.
The information budget pays for programmes which complement NATO members' national efforts to explain defence policy, and for programmes to spread NATO's message of dialogue, co-operation and collective security in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
