HC Deb 28 June 1966 vol 730 c218W
58. Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what basis the United Kingdom delegations to the specialised agencies of the United Nations are selected.

Mrs. White

The selection of British delegations to the specialised agencies is primarily the concern of the Minister responsible for the United Kingdom's relations with the agency in question.

At major conferences our delegation is frequently led by the Minister of the responsible Department. Delegations are made up of officials and experts from Government service or private organisations.
