answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Membership and engagement with multilateral organisations such as the UN, NATO and in some cases the EU, provide us with opportunities to achieve our security ends more efficiently and effectively than through bilateral channels alone - especially where we can combine efforts with like-minded countries<em>.</em> Various options related to the UK's future contribution to UN peacekeeping are currently being explored. These must be weighed against our role as the fifth biggest financial contributor to UN peacekeeping, our national interest and our ongoing national, bilateral, and multilateral obligations and commitments. Any decision to increase our contribution will be made with these factors in mind.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 17/11/2014 16:46:51 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
