HC Deb 08 November 1968 vol 772 c175W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the British delegate, having declared that it infringed the responsibilities of Parliament, did not vote against a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly in the sense of Nibmar.

Mr. Whitlock

The British delegate was instructed to abstain from voting on this resolution because, although Her Majesty's Government could not accept its terms, there has been no change in their position on Nibmar.
