12. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what instructions have been given to British Council representatives abroad in regard to hon. Members giving lectures under its auspices in foreign countries.

Mr. McNeil

Hon. Members lecturing abroad under British Council auspices do so on the understanding that they avoid controversial political discussion when speaking from the British Council's platform. British Council representatives abroad are fully informed of the position.
