Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the fact that the World Assembly of Youth receives 350,000 dollars a year from the United States Government's Central Intelligence Agency, if he will discontinue the smaller amount his Department contributes through the British Youth Council.
§ Mr. William RodgersNo. I have no knowledge of the facts alleged by my hon. Friend.
