HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c8W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made by Her Majesty's Government in the preparation of proposals for the World Conference on Population Control; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wood

We took part last month when the United Nations Population Commission discussed the Report of the Preparatory Committee. I gave an assurance to the hon. Member on 22nd March that we would play a full part in the associated preliminary regional conferences. My Department is at present represented at the first African Population Conference in Ghana.
