WHAT ARE HIMG GIVING TO UNHCR?
17. Our record of voluntary contributions to UNIICR's General
Programme Budget and Special Appeals is good. So far this year
the Government's contribution to UNHCR has amounted to £6 million
for the General Programme Budget and £1.2 million in response to
Special Appeals. Subject to Parliamentary approval, the first
£2,500,000 of £5,000,000 allotted by the Government for the
relief of refugees in South East Asia will be given shortly
to the UNIICR for his 1979 budget. The Government's pledge for
UNIICR's general programme in 1980 is still under consideration.
