HC Deb 20 February 1975 vol 886 c487W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contribution the United Kingdom is making towards the creation of a United Nations University in Tokyo; and whether British experience with the Open University is being made use of in connection with this project.

Mr. Ennals

Her Majesty's Government have no plans at the moment to make a financial contribution to the United Nations University but we are following developments closely and sympathetically. Professor Asa Briggs of the University of Sussex is a member of the United Nations University Council. The concept of the United Nations University is fundamentally different from that of the Open University.
