§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what events are planned in the United Kingdom to mark United Nations day on 24 October; and what steps have been taken to publicise these events.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggNormally the only way the Government marks United Nations day is by raising flags in Parliament square. As the Secretary-General is in London on the day this year he has agreed to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph.
The pool of photographers were informed of the event on 20 October.
