Sir Russell Johnston
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the United Kingdom will make the payment currently owed to the United Nations for special peace-keeping activities.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd
The United Kingdom makes its assessed payments for any United Nations peacekeeping operations within 30 days of receiving the request from the United Nations. The only exceptions are for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon and the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force where we offset part of our assessed payment against the logistic support we provide. The adjustment for this does not take place until the end of a mandate period.
