§ 73. Mr Russellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names of the countries whose representatives voted for 31 any against, and abstained from, the resolution on Tanganyika, passed by the General Assembly on 27th February.
§ The Joint Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Ian Harvey)The General Assembly adopted two Resolutions which concerned Tanganyika on 26th of February. On one, which is referred to as Resolution III in United Nations documents A/3554 and A/PV.661, there was a roll call vote, and full details of the voting are given on pages 86 and 87 of A/PV.661. The Resolution was adopted by 45 votes to 14, with 16 abstentions. The United Kingdom opposed the Resolution.
The second Resolution, which is referred to in the United Nations documents mentioned as Resolution IV, was adapted without a roll call vote, and it is not therefore possible to give the names of the countries voting for and against the Resolution and abstaining on it. The Resolution was adopted by 47 votes to 15, with 11 abstentions. The United Kingdom opposed the Resolution.
A copy of the two United Nations documents which I have mentioned are in the Library of the House, and I would refer my hon. Friend to them for fuller details with regard to the voting.
