HC Deb 23 January 1995 vol 253 cc39-40W
Ms Corston

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the formal representations made by Her Majesty's Government since 1993 in the preparation of each of the three drafts of the UN declaration and action programme on social development, giving the dates of each.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have participated actively in each of the four preparatory committee meetings held in New York to agree the documentation for the world summit for social development. The dates for these are: 1 to 11 February 1994, 22 August to 2 September 1994, 24 to 28 October 1994—an intersessional meeting—and 16 to 27 January 1995. We have also been very active in the many EU co-ordination meetings that have taken place in Brussels and New York, putting forward many suggestions for strong texts on the three core issues which have been taken up by the EU as a whole.
