§ 51. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Lord President of the Council what arrangements are being made to ensure that scientific and technological institutions in this country are sufficiently informed about the programme of the United Nations Scientific Conference on the Conservation and Utilisation of Resources which is to take place next May; and what facilities will be given to such bodies to participate.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonUp to the present the provisional state of the programme has justified only such limited publicity as will enable Departments, non-official organisations most directly concerned, and various individual specialists to collaborate over items where United Kingdom contributions have been invited. The Secretary-General of the United Nations. on the advice of a Preparatory Committee on which the United Kingdom is represented, is inviting various United Kingdom nationals to contribute papers to the Conference and Departments are now considering what additional persons the Secretary-General might be asked to invite to attend as observers or to participate in discussions.
