HC Deb 01 July 1969 vol 786 c65W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the Government proposes to resume full participation in the work of the United Nations Committee of 24.

Mr. Mulley

We play an active part in the work of the Committee of 24. We do not, however, participate in its overseas tours, which we consider expensive and unnecessary. Nor do we participate in discussion of Oman or the Caribbean Associated States, which are self-governing and therefore lie outside the Committee's competence.
