HC Deb 07 November 1955 vol 545 c160W
97. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Education how the United Kingdom representative at the Eighth General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation voted on the Resolution recognising that the results attained by Esperanto corresponded with the aims and ideals of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation; and the policy of Her Majesty's Government in regard to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation's support for Esperanto.

Mr. Vosper

The United Kingdom delegate voted for this Resolution, having first successfully proposed the deletion of a recommendation that Member States of U.N.E.S.C.O. should encourage the teaching and use of Esperanto. The resolution does not commit either U.N.E.S.C.O. or Her Majesty's Government to the promotion of Esperanto.
