HC Deb 28 May 1971 vol 818 cc252-3W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what instructions were given to the British representative at the Annual Assembly of the World Health Organisation as to how the United Kingdom vote was to be cast on the resolution accusing the Israeli occupying authorities of blocking the distribution of medicaments by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Mr. Godber

The operative paragraph to which the Question refers formed part of a longer resolution, adopted by the World Health Assembly on 15th May, on which the United Kingdom delegation were instructed to abstain.
