HC Deb 27 October 1970 vol 805 c63W
78. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he proposes taking to enable China to be invited to join the United Nations Organisation.

Mr. Godber

For many years we have voted for the seating of the Chinese People's Republic and shall do so again this year. As my right hon. Friend said in his speech in the United Nations on 24th September, the absence of China from the United Nations makes the solution of many pressing world problems all the more difficult.
