HC Deb 03 March 1972 vol 832 c201W
Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made on the question of the German Democratic Republic participating in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Pollution due to take place in June, 1972.

Mr. Kershaw

The question of East German participation at the Stockholm Conference is as yet undecided. As my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Under-Secretary told the House on 14th February, the proposals under consideration would, if accepted, ensure that the German Democratic Republic would be able to take a full working part in the Conference.—[Vol. 831, c.6.]
