HC Deb 18 May 1979 vol 967 cc8-9W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will be present at the fifth United Nations conference on trade and development; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Parkinson

The Government will be working, together with other developed countries in the European Community and more widely in OECD, for a constructive debate at the conference on the central issues of trade and development. I will be going to Manila to lead the United Kingdom delegation in the final week of the conference.
