HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 c1655
54. Mr. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how the British delegation voted on the 10 Resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on the subject of the administration of South-West Africa by the Government of the South African Union.

Mr. Nutting

The United Kingdom delegation abstained on six of the Resolutions and voted against four of them.

Mr. Brockway

May I welcome the right hon. Gentleman on his return from the United Nations, and ask him whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the actual terms of the Resolutions in favour of which our delegation voted, of those against which our delegation voted, and of those on which the delegation abstained?

Mr. Nutting

The hon. Member is wrong about the Answer. The United Kingdom abstained on six Resolutions and voted against four. We did not vote in favour of any. I will certainly consider the proposal which the hon. Member has made.
