4. I must also explain that before HMG
were asked for their view of a figure of
£8.5 million for the contribution they had
been thinking in terms of a substantially
larger sum; but that taking into account
the other financial commitments facing

£8.5 million as the minimum contribution
to which they could reasonably agree.
This remains the position. Nevertheless,
if you have any suggestions to make which
might achieve an equivalent contribution
perhaps by a different approach to the
problem, I hope you will feel free to
advance them. I can assure you that we
HMG would give them very careful study.
