HC Deb 27 October 1954 vol 531 cc271-2W
84. Mr. Beswick

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will propose an. Amendment, for the removal of doubt, to Chapter IV of the United Nations Charter, to give effect to the recommendation of the International Civil Service Advisory Board that the duty and loyalty of the civil servant employed by the United Nations Organisation should be primarily to that international organisation in accordance with the oath taken on establishment.

Mr. Turton

The recent Report of the International Civil Service Advisory Board does not recommend that the existing regulations should be amended.
