HC Deb 18 June 1992 vol 209 cc676-7W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress has been made with the undertaking to contribute towards the development of the International Peto Institute in Budapest; whether other OECD countries have contributed; how much of the United Kingdom Government grant has been spent; if she will list the principal elements of the new Institute which have already been paid for, and which will be paid for in the remainder of this financial year; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Yeo

The United Kingdom Government have undertaken to contribute £5 million towards the costs of establishing the International Peto Institute in Budapest, which will provide conductive education for children with physical disabilities and training in conductive education. We are not aware that other OECD countries have contributed. The United Kingdom Government have made an initial payment of £1,750,000. Our agreement with the Hungarian Government provides that subsequent payments will be dependent upon progress with construction.
