HC Deb 29 April 1963 vol 676 c55W
43. Mr. Millan

asked the Lord Privy Seal what recent steps Her Majesty's Government have taken on the question of the admittance of China to the United Nations.

Mr. Godber

No action has been taken since October, 1962, when the question of Chinese representation was discussed in the United Nations General Assembly. The British delegate then voted in favour of the Soviet draft resolution that a representative of the People's Republic of China be seated in the United Nations and the Nationalist representative removed. The Soviet draft resolution was defeated by 56 votes to 42.
