We have earmarked £456 million for assessed costs in 2009-10. This remains a projection as, in particular, UN peacekeeping costs are still to be negotiated by the UN General Assembly for 2009-10, and future UN peacekeeping activity remains subject to decisions by the UN Security Council. We cannot provide an accurate figure for the additional costs broken down by mission until the budgets for each of the missions are agreed and payments made.
The UN publishes budget proposals for each mission on its official document system on the UN website. These can be accessed by searching for the relevant mission at:

We expect UN Fifth Committee negotiations to be completed by early to mid June 2009.
