HC Deb 17 March 1947 vol 435 c3W
21. Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give a list of the countries which are members of the Universal Postal Union and which have not been invited to the forthcoming congress of that union to be held in Paris on 6th May next; who is responsible for issuing the invitations to this congress; and whose responsibility it is to ensure that Article 13 of the Buenos Aires Convention is observed in this connection.

Mr. McNeil

The arrangements for the forthcoming Congress of the Universal Postal Union are in the hands of the French Government, who are also responsible for issuing the invitations, and for carrying out the provisions of Article 13 of the Buenos Aires Convention. As far as I am aware, Spain is the only member of the Union that has not been invited to the Paris Congress.
