HC Deb 31 October 1955 vol 545 c66W
71. Mr. Albu

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why he advised foreign Governments not to be represented at the recent conference on regional planning and development.

Mr. Turton

My right hon. Friend had been asked by a friendly Government if the Conference was reputable. On learning that some of those responsible for organising the Conference were Communists or Communist sympathisers, he passed on this information to the Government in question and to a number of other friendly Governments.
