The Prime Ministers expressed their concern at the possible effect on United Nations operations in all fields of a prolongation of the United Nations Financial Crisis.

Not only have we taken action to act in accordance with resolutions of the United Nations, not only have we taken an unprecedented lead in pledging logistic support for world peace-keeping operations - the first step to the international police force we have all dreamed of - but, at the darkest moment in the United Nations Financial Crisis this summer, a crisis where finance was the symbol rather than the cause of the strains between nations, it was Britain who came out with the proposal for an unconditional contribution, and it is now for more nations to follow our lead.

Sir Peter Blaker: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he proposes to respond to the appeal by the Secretary-General of the United Nations in the context of the United Nations Financial Crisis.
