HC Deb 17 May 1962 vol 659 cc143-4W
56. Lady Tweedsmuir

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will alter the usual composition of United Kingdom delegations to international tribunals to include a Scottish Law Officer, particularly where Scottish interests are primarily involved.

Mr. P. Thomas

The composition of United Kingdom delegations to international tribunals is decided upon the facts of each case. The persons selected are those whose qualifications and experience are best suited to the matter in hand. In the handling of international affairs no distinction is made between the constituent parts of the United Kingdom.
