HC Deb 23 November 1992 vol 214 c454W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much has been spent in monitoring the progress of UNESCO since the United Kingdom's withdrawal from membership.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

It would involve disproportionate cost to detail all the costs incurred in following developments at UNESCO since 1985. The main charges are those of a first secretary in Paris and another in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, 50 per cent. of whose duties are devoted to UNESCO; and a locally-engaged member of staff in Paris. The estimated 1991–92 cost of these staff is £143,630.
