§ 37. Sir J. Rodgersasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to suggest consideration of London as the permanent site for the United Nations Secretariat for Ecology and Environment Protection, which is to be established at the Conference on Environmental Interrelations which is to be held in Stockholm in June this year.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleThe form and functions of any secretariat to be established by the Stockholm Environment Conference are under study by Her Majesty's Government. An important consideration in deciding upon the location of such a secretariat would be its need to have access to other parts of the United Nations Secretariat and to those specialised agencies concerned with the environment.
