HC Deb 27 July 1964 vol 699 cc218-9W
Mr. H. Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Foregin Affairs what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding Resolution No. 276 on the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies, which was adopted by the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe on 24th April, 1964; and whether Her Majesty's Government propose to participate in the work of the Centre.

Mr. Mathew

Her Majesty's Government regard the Centre as primarily a matter for the Mediterranean countries and have not therefore signed the Agreement establishing it. They have, however, as members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, borne their appropriate share of the cost of lecturers for and scholarships at the Centre which has been provided out of the organisations' technical assistance funds.
