HC Deb 23 March 1994 vol 240 cc338-40W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the current funding situation for British military participation in UN operations in the former Yugoslavia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hanley

In accordance with long-established inter-departmental arrangements, the MOD recovers the cost of United Kingdom participation for peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The cost of military participation in UN operations in the former Yugoslavia is currently estimated at £81,000,000 for financial year 1993–94. This expenditure is partly offset by reimbursement from the United Nations which so far total £18,100,000 in 1993–94.
