Mrs. Butlerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps are being considered by Her Majesty's Government to establish seminars on the status of women, especially in Colonial and Dependent Territories under the programme of advisory services in the field of human rights in accordance with the resolution passed on 26th November, 1957, in the General Assembly of the United Nations.
§ Mr. Ian HarveyIt is for the Secretary General of the United Nations to consider in the first instance to what extent, and in what regions, seminars on the Status of Women can usefully be organised within the limited resources available. Her Majesty's Government will naturally give careful consideration to any approach the Secretary General may make to them on this subject.
