HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 cc149-50W
48. Mr. Younger

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will arrange for a member of Her Majesty's Government to be present in New York to lead the United Kingdom delegation for the remainder of the present session of the General Assembly.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The level at which Her Majesty's Government are represented at the General Assembly of the United Nations, and the length of time during which members of Her Majesty's Government should be present, depend on the one hand on the business before the General Assembly at any given time, and on the other hand, on the other responsibilities of Ministers. The question whether a member of Her Majesty's Government should lead the United Kingdom delegation during the second half of the present Session, and if so for how long, is a matter which I have at present under consideration.
