Mr. Denham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how much funding is given to the global environment facility per annum by the United Kingdom.

Mr. Goodlad

The United Kingdom has committed £40.3 million to the global environment facility (GEF). Of this, we contributed £4.4 million in financial year 1991–92 and £5.4 million in financial year 1992–93 as requested by the GEF. Our contributions in 1993–94 onwards will continue to depend on the requirements of the GEF for the year in question.
