HC Deb 06 March 1957 vol 566 c338
22. Mr. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the method of nomination for the election of non-administering members of the Trusteeship Council of the United Nations.

Mr. Ian Harvey

Under Rule 94 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly, non-administering members of the Trusteeship Council are elected by secret ballot, and there are no nominations.

Mr. Russell

Is it not rather extraordinary that among the non-administering Powers there is no European nation except Russia? How does that position arise?

Mr. Harvey

That is another question.
