HC Deb 15 December 1943 vol 395 c1564W
Mr. Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the decision of the conference at Atlantic City to withdraw schemes for the long-term economic rehabilitation of Europe from the competence of U.N.R.R.A. and to rely on European Governments without machinery for international co-operation represents the policy of His Majesty's Government?

Mr. Eden

I cannot accept my hon. Friend's suggestion that anything has been withdrawn from the competence of U.N.R.R.A. nor that the problem of long-term economic rehabilitation of Europe is being overlooked. The resolutions passed by the Council of U.N.R.R.A at Atlantic City represent the unanimous agreement of the 44 countries represented on the Council.

Mr. Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether steps will be taken to publish the Reports of the conference of U.N.R.R.A. at Atlantic City?

Mr. Eden

The resolutions passed by the Council of U.N.R.R.A. at Atlantic City were made public by the Council. I propose to issue them here in the form of a White Paper and, if it meets the wishes of the House, a statement will be made on the subject when the report of the British delegation has been considered.
