Lord Campbell of Alloway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

If they have reached a decision on UK membership of UNIDO.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

We have this week informed the UN Secretary General and the Director General of UNIDO of our intention to withdraw from UNIDO from the end of 1997. We will review this decision towards the end of next year in the light of progress on wider UN institutional reforms.
