§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has of the consequences of the projected cut in global environmental assistance.
§ Mr. Lennox-Boyd[holding answer 18 November 1992]: There is no projected cut. The planned provision for global environmental assistance covers only expected expenditure to meet existing commitments to the global environment facility and the Montreal protocol fund. We have agreed to provide new and additional resources for replenishment of the global environment facility. We shall make provision when the level and the timing of our contribution to the replenishment are known.
