HC Deb 29 November 1999 vol 340 cc31-2W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the cost of the UK contribution to the Stability Pact between its inception and 30 October. [100081]

Mr. Vaz

[holding answer 26 November 1999]: We anticipate that the UK's contribution to cover the costs of the inaugural Summit meeting of the Stability Pact, and the costs incurred in supporting the EU' s Special Representative for the Stability Pact until 31 December 1999, will be approximately £225,000.

The Stability Pact is not intended to be a grant-giving organisation but we will continue to support the implementing agencies (EU, OSCE, IFIs etc.) through our regular contributions and on a case-by-case basis.
