HC Deb 20 January 1992 vol 202 cc43-4W
39. Sir Charles Morrison

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the Minister for Overseas Development will address the British parliamentary group's population and development conference for European parliamentarians on the subject of the European agenda for action on world population; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

I much regret that I will be unable to attend this conference, because of my forthcoming visit to southern Africa. My noble Friend the Earl of Caithness has agreed to attend in my place. My officials will play a major role in support to European Action on World Population. I look forward to the conclusions of the conference with considerable interest.
