U.N.C.T.A.D. (Office) (Hansard, 26 October 1965)

HC Deb 26 October 1965 vol 718 c31W 31W

§ 41. Mr. G. Campbell
asked the President of the Board of Trade whether Her Majesty's Government will propose that the new United Nations body concerned with trade and development should establish its main office in the capital of Scotland, in view of the existing pressure on space and housing in London and of the proved suitability of Edinburgh as a conference centre.

§ Mr. Mason
No. I do not think that for practical reasons any city in the United Kingdom except London would be likely to be found acceptable by the other Governments represented on the Trade and Development Board of U.N.C.T.A.D.
