§ Q19. Mr. CorbynTo ask the Prime Minister what plans he has to promote reform of the United Nations. [86823]
§ The Prime MinisterWe have given strong support to the UN Secretary General's plans for reform of the UN and its institutions. We recognise the need for new ways to be found to ensure that the UN and the Security Council work more efficiently and effectively. The Government will be pursuing this with other member states in the coming months. At the same time we will continue to press for enlargement of the Security Council to make it more representative of the world today. We will be working towards securing proper funding for the UN together with effective and transparent accountability arrangements. We will also discuss how the UN might improve co-ordination of its activities.
