HC Deb 28 June 1966 vol 730 c217W
55. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of Her Majesty's Government's support of China being admitted to the United Nations, and the probability of the necessary majority support being obtained later this year at the United Nations, if he will seek from the Peking Government an assurance of its willingness to join the United Nations, and to accept the conditions and responsibilities of that membership; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. White

No. Her Majesty's Government consider that the representatives of the Chinese People's Republic should occupy the China seat in the United Nations. The acceptance of this seat by the Government of the Chinese People's Republic would naturally involve the acceptance of the obligations imposed upon members by the Charter.
