HC Deb 28 November 1955 vol 546 c161W
Sir H. Roper

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the circumstances in which the United Kingdom was not elected by the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organisation to a seat on the Council.

Mr. Amory

The F.A.O. is a democratic organisation in which each member Government has one vote. The United Kingdom has no prescriptive right to a seat on the Council or on any particular committee.
