§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether there are any plans permanently to revitalise the United Nations military staff committee; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggThe Military Staff Committee has met formally and briefly at United Nations headquarters approximately twice a month since 1945. Separately there have been five ad hoc meetings of members of the military staff committee since the Gulf crisis began. These have proved a useful forum for the exchange of information.
