HC Deb 22 October 1992 vol 212 cc357-8W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Prime Minister what plans Her Majesty's Government have to mark United Nations Day on 24 October.

The Prime Minister

The flag of the United Nations will be flown in Parliament square on 24 October.

Our commitment to the United Nations, as a founder of the organisation and a permanent member of the Security Council, remains as firm as ever. The end of the cold war and successes in, for example, Namibia and Kuwait have given the United Nations new authority. We welcome that and will continue to work for a stronger, more effective United Nations which can meet the challenges of the 1990s.
