The UK contribution to the civil budget each year takes account of other variables: monthly amendments to account for changes in the official exchange rate between the pound and the Euro; NATO adjustments to the call for contributions from Allies to allow for an offset of income received by NATO such as bank interest and for under spends on the budget; and adjustments in the percentage contribution attributable to the UK, which are calculated biannually on the basis of countries’ Growth National Income, and on the number of NATO members contributing.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/07/2015 13:06:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

tabling member printed	Lord Robertson of Port Ellen
uin	HL1452
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2015 answer text <p>The British Government has not circulated any North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) fact sheets in the UK or to Members of Parliament or the House of Lords. However, we do commend them to all Members as an excellent resource, and I attach NATO’s “Russia’s top five myths about NATO” fact sheet to this answer and am placing a copy of it in the Library of the House. This and other fact sheets are freely available on NATO’s website. NATO’s own figures show that around 7700 UK-based users have accessed its “NATO-Russia relations: the facts” webpage, while many thousands more have engaged with its content via social media. Additionally, since the start of the Russia/Ukraine crisis the Government has regularly exposed Russian myths through social media, including promoting NATO’s myth busting content. We will look for further opportunities to bring such valuable info to the attention of this House.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/07/2015 11:49:51 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns attachment 1 file name NATO FACT SHEET -russia-top5-myths.pdf title fact sheet 'Russia's top five myths about NATO'
