HC Deb 17 March 1960 vol 619 cc118-9W
64 and 65. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of. Education (1) when the United Kingdom National Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation last met; and when it proposes to hold its next meeting;

(2) if he will state the number of advisory committees, sub-committees and co-operating bodies now attached to the United Kingdom Commission for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation; and what functions they perform.

Sir D. Eccles

I am reconstituting the National Commission and expect that it will be meeting within the next few months. In its old form, the Commission was composed of about 30 co-operating bodies or committees with over 300 members. The last full meeting took place in 1954, but its committees have had frequent meetings. I will send the hon. Member details of the new arrangements as soon as I can.
