HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 cc121-2W
125. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will arrange for a Parliamentary Delegation to visit Geneva, in order to study the work of the Economic Commission for Europe and to report upon the possibilities open to this organisation for the promotion of all-European trade, transport and economic development.

Mr. McNeil

Sessions of the Economic Commission for Europe are public and reports of its activities are published from time to time. His Majesty's Government have constantly in mind the objective referred to by my hon. Friend. I do not, therefore, think that any useful purpose would be served by the visit of a Parliamentary Delegation to Geneva.
