HC Deb 23 June 1969 vol 785 cc189-90W
Mr. Hay

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many states have acceded to the Beirut Agreement of 1948 and the Florence Agreement of 1950 relating to the international circulation and importation of educational, scientific and cultural materials; and whether the Beirut Agreement has now been published by Her Majesty's Government as a Command Paper.

Mr. Foley

There are at present twenty-three contracting States to the Beirut Agreement for Facilitating the International Circulation of Visual and Auditory Materials of an Educational, Scientific and Cultural Character, and fifty-seven contracting States to the Florence Agreement on the importation of Educational, Scientific and Cultural Materials.

The Beirut Agreement has not been published as a Command Paper since the United Kingdom is not a party to this Agreement.
