§ Mr. Anthony RoyleUnder the terms of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2850 all member States of the United Nations and its specialised agencies have been invited to attend the Stockholm Environment Conference.

As yet the East European Governments have not responded to this offer.—[Vol. 831, c.6.]
