HC Deb 03 February 1976 vol 904 c544W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what initiatives are proposed by Her Majesty's Government in connection with the proposals for a New International Economic Order arising from the deliberations of the Seventh Special General Assembly of the United Nations in September 1975.

Mr. Ennals

Following on the final Resolution of the Seventh Special Session of the United Nations General Assembly, which set out agreed guidelines for progress towards a new and more equitable system of international economic relations, discussions will be taking place in a variety of fora. Her Majesty's Government will be playing an active and constructive part in all such discussions and are engaged in preparatory consultations with their Community partners. Until these consultations are completed I cannot provide details of the proposals that will be made.

Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will meet the World Development Movement to discuss the New International Economic Order and the prospects for UNCTAD IV; and, if not, whether he would be prepared to meet representatives of WDM.

Mr. Ennals

I am ready to receive a deputation.
