HC Deb 09 July 1963 vol 680 c132W
Mr. Bottomley

asked the Lord Privy Seal what instructions are being sent to the British delegation to the United Nations with regard to their vote and comment on the resolution on Malta by the Special Committee of Twenty-four when that resolution comes before the General Assembly.

Mr. Heath

The resolution in question will not come before the General Assembly until its next regular session, which begins on 17th September. Mean while, a conference has been called in London this month to discuss Malta's independence. It would, therefore, be premature to send instructions to the British delegation at present.
