HC Deb 28 November 1960 vol 631 c6W
55. Mr. C. Johnson

asked the Lord Privy Seal what recent representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Secretary-General of the United Nations Organisation concerning the urgent need for the Afro-Asian Conciliation Commission to proceed to the Congo.

Mr. Heath

None. I do not consider this is a matter in which it would be proper for Her Majesty's Government to intervene. The Secretary-General's Congo Advisory Committee (of whose Afro-Asian members the Conciliation Mission will be composed) are, I understand, responsible for arranging the departure of the Commission, and I have no doubt they are fully aware of the considerations which the hon. Gentleman has in mind.
