§ 15. Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what basis the Government appoints British representatives and delegations to international organisations; how many professional civil servants, how many members of the public, how many peers and how many Members of Parliament have been so appointed during the past year; and whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL 17 REPORT full details of all those at present having such responsibilities.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Maurice Foley)These appointments are generally decided, after any necessary consultation, by the Minister responsible for United Kingdom relations with the organisation concerned. The delegations consist of officials, experts from Government service or private organisations, and, in some cases, Members of Parliament. During the past year 246 professional civil servants, 34 members of the public, 8 peers and 54 Members of Parliament, including members of Her Majesty's Government, have been so appointed.
I will, with permission, circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of our permanent representatives to international organisations in the economic and social field.
§ Mr. JuddWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask him if he will agree that it is rather unsatisfactory that the House does not have more detailed information available about these faceless, however dedicated, men negotiating international policy on our behalf, and that it strengthens the argument for a Select Committee which can keep in touch with all these aspects of detailed policy?
§ Mr. FoleyI am not aware of any view that says such a thing as faceless people. Information on representation at all international organisations is public knowledge and all Members of Parliament should be aware of it.
