HC Deb 13 March 1957 vol 566 c190W
101. Mr. Beswick

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to propose through the United Kingdom representation of the Agency that Category A non-governmental organisations should have the right to appoint observers to attend meetings of the International Atomic Energy Agency, receive documents and working papers, make oral statements, have relevant statements and memoranda circulated by the Secretariat, suggest appropriate subjects for the consideration of the Agency, and consult with an appointed liaison officer of the Agency.

Mr. Ian Harvey

Her Majesty's Government will study this proposal sympathetically in the light of Article XVI A of the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which provides authority for the establishment of appropriate relationships with any organisation whose work is related to that of the Agency.
