Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will resist attempts by the USSR to join the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, until such time as peaceful negotiations have been concluded between the central government and all the republics.

Lord Reay

There has been no application on the part of the USSR to join the IMF or World Bank.
