§ 53. Mr. R. Harrisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the action of the Dutch Government, on 8th July, 1953, in establishing an ad hocadvisory commission on the revision of the United Nations Charter; and if he will take similar action in this country.
§ The Minister of State (Mr. Selwyn Lloyd)The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes, Sir"; and to the second part that I will bear my hon. Friend's suggestion in mind.
§ Mr. HarrisWould my right hon. and learned Friend also bear in mind that there are many organisations in this country which have been giving a good deal of thought to the question of the revision of the United Nations Charter, such as the World Government Group in this House and the United Nations Association elsewhere? Would my right hon. and learned Friend set up some sort of organisation which can collate the various thoughts and ideas which will be coming forward in the next two years?
§ Mr. LloydI will certainly consider the question of setting up such an organisation. In the meantime, I shall be very ready to receive any representations or views upon this matter direct.
