HC Deb 12 March 1997 vol 292 c246W
33. Mr. Gapes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on Government policy towards reform of the United Nations. [18329]

Sir Nicholas Bonsor

We support institutional and financial reform of the United Nations. We held useful talks on this subject last month with the new Secretary General, Kofi Annan, whose commitment to reform we welcome. We hope that the long-standing discussion of Security Council enlargement will be resolved as soon as possible.
