HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 cc241-2W
61. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps he now proposes to take to bring about the proper representation of China in the United Nations, in view of the use of the veto by the Chinese Nationalist representative in the Security Council in such a way as to thwart the expressed intentions of a substantial majority of the Members of the United Nations.

69. Mr. S. Silverman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what new initiative he proposes to take at the United Nations to secure that China is in future represented on the Security Council and in the General Assembly and other United Nations organs by representatives duly accredited by the Chinese Government recognised by Her Majesty the Queen.

70. Mr. Zilliacus

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware of the part played by the delegate from Formosa in the Security Council in obstructing the admission of new members to the United Nations; and whether he will now propose the withdrawal of recognition as a member of the United Nations of General Chiang Kai-Shek's Government and the admission to the United Nations of the Government of China recognised as such by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Nutting

This year's session of the General Assembly of the United Nations is about to end and the problem of Chinese representation will not therefore arise until next session.
