HC Deb 23 November 1955 vol 546 cc116-7W
69. Mr. Albu

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he proposes to take in the United Nations to safeguard the independence of international civil servants following the decisions of the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Office in the cases of the dismissed officials of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organisation.

Lord John Hope

No question of action in the United Nations arises. The International Labour Office Administrative Tribunal is the competent body to hear appeals by officials of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation and the Food and Agriculture Organisation, and has found in favour of the officials concerned.
