HC Deb 27 February 1967 vol 742 c6W
61. Mr. Marquand

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now ratify the International Convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, Command Paper No. 3126, in view of the fact that Her Majesty's Government have now signed it.

Mr. William Rodgers

We have the question of ratification very much in mind, and will announce our decision as soon as possible. The text of the United Kingdom Note to the Secretary-General of the United Nations at the time of signature, which contains a reservation and an interpretative statement, is available in the Library.
