HC Deb 07 December 1955 vol 547 cc357-8
23. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will instruct the United Kingdom delegation to the United Nations to propose that the Assembly shall resume its sittings in the New Year for the purpose of discussing the representation of the Chinese People's Republic.

Mr. H. Macmillan

No, Sir.

Mr. Warbey

As the right hon. Gentleman is now prepared to swallow the admission to the United Nations of Outer Mongolia, Albania and fascist Spain in order to break a deadlock, is he prepared to do nothing to break this even greater deadlock by ensuring that China, with her population of 600 million is properly represented, particularly as the continued representation of Chiang Kai-shek may well kill the proposed "package deal" on new members?

Mr. Macmillan

We had better try to break one deadlock at a time. The first thing is to deal with the new members.
