§ Mr. Thorpeasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what were the reasons which caused Her Majesty's Government to refuse the request of the United Nations General Assembly to appoint an official expert to the group inquiring into the use of napalm and other incendiary weapons.
§ Mr. AmeryIn common with many other countries, we did not consider that we had a suitable qualified expert who could have contributed to this study, which has now been published and which we are considering. In line with a resolution recently passed by the First Committee of the United Nations General Assembly we have undertaken to let the Secretary-General have our comments on the report in time for him to convey the views of member Governments to the next General Assembly.
