HC Deb 27 June 1957 vol 572 c51W
76. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if, in view of replies received from Commonwealth Governments to the Secretary of State's communication on economic development, Her Majesty's Government will reconsider proposals for an early contribution to the Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development.

Mr. Alport

The replies from the Commonwealth Governments to which the hon. Member refers related to suggestions for a Commonwealth Development Agency and an associated Commonwealth Bank to which Commonwealth Governments would contribute. The question of a contribution to the Special United Nations Fund for Economic Development is one for the Foreign Secretary.
