Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench). It was answered by Baroness Kinnock of Holyhead (Labour) on Monday, 7 December 2009.
UN: UK Peacekeeping Contribution
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government why the United Kingdom’s United Nations assessed peacekeeping contributions are no longer met from the contingency reserve.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I refer to the Statement made by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in another place on 25 March 2009. To control spending, the Treasury has capped the call on the contingency reserve for peacekeeping at £374 million. We estimated that peacekeeping assessed costs could rise to £456 million in 2009-10 and so reluctantly cut back on discretionary conflict activity. From 2010-11, the Treasury will consider a modest request for end-of-year flexibility.
