HC Deb 04 June 1962 vol 661 cc2-3W
27. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether Her Majesty's Government propose to support the proposals for discussion at the United Nations General Assembly and by the World Health Organisation of the problem of world population pressures.

Mr. P. Thomas

Yes. Her Majesty's Government expect to support the inscription on the Agenda of the next Session of the General Assembly of the item proposed by Denmark and Sweden on population growth and economic development. The World Health Assembly concluded its annual meeting in Geneva last month without the subject of world population pressures being proposed for discussion.
