HL Deb 11 May 1993 vol 545 cc60-1WA
Lord Marlesford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will give, for each of the last 10 years, Great Britain's financial contribution to the United Nations indicating for each year how this was divided between funds for the UN headquarters functions and each of the UN agencies.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

It has only recently become normal practice to calculate, annually, the total level of UK contributions to the UN system as a whole. Details for 1991–92 have been placed in the Libraries of the House. Figures for 1992–93 are not yet available. Details of pre-1991 contributions are not centrally available and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Details of the UK's contributions to the UN regular budget over the past 10 years are as follows:
