HC Deb 14 June 1965 vol 714 cc11-2W
45. Mr. Ioan L. Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further action is being taken by Her Majesty's Government to support the purpose of International Co-operation Year.

Mr. George Thomson

As the House knows, the Government fully support the purposes of International Co-operation Year and have given £10,000 towards the expenses of the National Committee which has been set up. We have thought it best to leave the planning of specific activities to this non-governmental Committee which has already done useful work in drawing public attention to the many positive achievements of international co-operation which are too often overshadowed by international controversy and conflict. The Government will of course continue to play a constructive and leading rôle in all aspects of international co-operation at the United Nations.
