§ 41. Sir Russell JohnstonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will now reconsider British membership of UNESCO.
§ Mr. EggarAs we made clear when we withdrew from UNESCO, we would need to see clear evidence that fundamental and far-reaching reform had been achieved in the organisation before we could reconsider our position on membership. We welcome the appointment of a new director-general; but our fundamental concerns remain UNESCO's programmes and administration. We shall follow developments in UNESCO closely, in order to see how the reform process proceeds and will keep an open mind.
§ 44. Sir Jim SpicerTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representation he has received about the Government's policy towards contacts with UNESCO.
