§ 121. Mr. M. MacPhersonasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether the Working Party on Development, set up by the Commonwealth Finance Ministers, of which he was chairman, has now completed its work; whether a report will be available to the forthcoming conference; and whether a report will be published.
§ Mr. J. FosterThe Interim Report of the Commonwealth Working Party on Development was the starting point of discussions upon development which took place in October at the meeting of Commonwealth officials in preparation for the Commonwealth Economic Conference.
