§ Mr. Pounderasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the Government, so far as this country's continued participation in the European Space Research Organisation is concerned, will meanwhile instruct its representative on the European Space Research Organisation Council to press for the prompt adoption by that organisation of the proposals set forth in paragraph 7 of the Consultative Assembly's Resolution 335 (1967).
§ Mr. CroslandWhen the points dealt with in the Resolution are raised in 205W E.S.R.O., our delegate will certainly be instructed to have in mind the considerations which moved the Consultative Assembly to make these proposals. The space research programme of E.S.R.O. will be reviewed by the Advisory Committee on Programmes which has just been set up by, and will report to, the European Space Conference.
The question of co-operation between E.S.R.O. and other European space organisations was dealt with by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in a Written Reply today on this subject.
