§ 57. Mr. Royleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to Recommendation 121, 1957, on the resettlement of refugees or surplus agricultural workers, passed by the Council of Europe; and if he is prepared to adopt the text.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydAs my right hon. Friend told the House on 29th January, 1958, the Council of Europe referred Recommendation 121 to the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation for an opinion.
The matter is still under consideration in the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation. An interim report from this Organisation was circulated on 4th August last to the Com- 32 mittee of Ministers' Deputies of the Council of Europe, who decided to transmit it to the Assembly.
§ 58. Mr. Royleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to Recommendation 122, 1957, of the Council of Europe, on the increased use of fertilisers; and if he is prepared to adopt the text.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThis Recommendation was referred to the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation for an opinion in March, 1957; an interim report has recently been sent to the Committee of Deputies and will be communicated to the Assembly shortly. The Assembly will no doubt wish to discuss this report. Meanwhile I am not in a position to say what the attitude of the Committee of Ministers will be.
