HC Deb 13 July 1964 vol 698 c165W
64. Mr. R. Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in view of the fact that at the last meeting of the Trade Union Advisory Committee of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris on 24th June, the whole trade union delegation, representing the International Federation of Christian Trade Unions and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions, withdrew from the meeting in protest against the presence of two delegates of the Spanish State Controlled Trade Unions, what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on the future of the Organisation's Trade Union Advisory Committee.

Mr. R. A. Butler

We should greatly regret any impairment of the hitherto close liaison between the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Trade Union Advisory Committee.
