Mr. Orme

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give support on behalf of the United Kingdom for the resolution introduced in ECOSOC of the United Nations calling for the creation of the office of Secretary General for the World Assembly on the Elderly and provide appropriate financial assistance.

I understand that the United Kingdom delegation is giving support to this resolution. I am not in a position to make any commitment on financial assistance at this stage.
