United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation

HC Deb 13 June 1984 vol 61 cc491-2W

Mr. Mark Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress was made in reforming the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation at the recent meeting of the executive board.

Mr. Raison

Some progress was made. A working committee was set up to consider in detail the various suggestions for reform made in my letter to the director general and at the board meeting. This committee, of which the United Kingdom is a member, will present concrete proposals to the autumn session of the board. The director general also announced some management proposals of his own.
