HC Deb 13 May 1968 vol 764 cc181-2W
71. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what benefit the United Kingdom has obtained from the United Nations Trust Fund for South Africa; what reply Her Majesty's Government made to the Secretary-General's appeal for further contributions; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The object of the Fund which Her Majesty's Government support is to provide grants for the relief and assistance of victims of the policies of apartheid. It is not therefore the purpose of the Fund to confer any benefit on Her Majesty's Government. The Secretary-General's appeal for a further contribution is being considered. No decision has yet been reached.
