HC Deb 22 February 1967 vol 741 cc306-7W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Government will now propose that the People's Republic of China should be admitted to membership of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.

Mr. George Thomson

No. While we believe that the People's Republic of China should be seated in the United Nations and its Specialised Agencies, a decision of this sort should first be taken in the General Assembly, as my hon. Friend, the then Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said in her reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Heeley (Mr. Hooley) on 7th November, 1966.—[Vol. 735, c.206.]
