HC Deb 04 November 1983 vol 47 c479W
Mr. Welsh

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Government's response to the second Brandt commission report, "Common Crisis".

Mr. Raison

The Government responded to the Brandt Commission's "Common Crisis" memorandum in a White Paper published in July (Cmnd. 9001). The White Paper accepts the Brandt Commission's central message: that we live in an interdependent world. It expresses the Government's concern at the serious economic problems facing many developing countries; and it outlines the Government's approach to restoring sustainable growth in the world economy in the interests of all countries.
