§ 52. Sir H. Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what diplomatic representation this country has in the Ukraine and Byelo-Russia.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesNone, Sir.
§ Sir H. WilliamsWhy is it that although we do not recognise these countries diplomatically they have a separate representation at the United Nations?
§ Mr. DaviesWe did, in 1947. request for an exchange of diplomatic representation with the Ukraine but no reply was received. As to their representation at the United Nations, that was provided in the agreement reached as Yalta by the right hon. Gentleman the Leader of the Opposition.
