HC Deb 08 March 1994 vol 239 c200W
29. Dr. Michael Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the cost of Britain's peacekeeping forces worldwide; and what proportion of this cost is reimbursed from the United Nations.

Mr. Hanley

United Kingdom military personnel have been involved in five United Nations peacekeeping operations during the financial year 1993–94; the additional cost is likely to total between £100,000,000–£110,000,000. Reimbursement from the United Nations for the same period so far amounts to £23,000,000. The United Kingdom stands to claim up to a further £25,000,000, subject to other member states paying their assessed contributions.
