§ 29. Dr. Michael ClarkTo 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. HanleyUnited 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.
