§ 27. Mr. Peter Archerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will specify the proposals he has made at the United Nations with a view to securing the full working participation of the German Democratic Republic in the United Nations Conference on the Environment to be held at Stockholm in June; and if he will make a statement.
§ 44. Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will include in their representations to the United Nations Organisation that all States, regardless of whether or not they are members of the United Nations or its agencies, should be invited to participate in the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Environment.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleAs I told the House on 17th January, discussions are still going on to permit attendance by interested parties which are not covered by the resolution on participation at the Conference adopted by the General Assembly on 20th December. It would be inappropriate for me to disclose details, but the proposals under consideration would, if accepted, ensure that East Germany would be able to take a full working part in the Stockholm Conference.—[Vol. 829, c.29–30.]
