HC Deb 11 June 1951 vol 488 cc159-60W
56. Mr. Sandys

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the attitude adopted recently by the British representative on the Trusteeship Council implies that it is no longer the policy of His Majesty's Government to secure as soon as possible the admission of the Communist Government of China to the United Nations.

Mr. Younger

His Majesty's Government still believe that delegates from the Central People's Government should represent China in the United Nations. In view, however, of that Government's persistence in behaviour which is inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter it now appears to His Majesty's Government that consideration of this question should be postponed for the time being.
