§ Ms KinghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans his Department is making to contribute to the UN Millennium Summit in September. [121516]
§ Mr. HainThe Foreign and Commonwealth Office has worked hard to build international support for the UN Secretary-General's proposals for the Millennium Summit. We intend to publicise his recently published Millennium Report on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website and to invite feedback on it. We helped fund a forum organised by the United Nations Association which sought to frame UK national civil society input to the UN's Millennium events. With DfID, we are also helping finance the Millennium Forum—the civil society companion event to the Summit.
