HL Deb 05 April 2000 vol 611 c141WA
Baroness Uddiri

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What they are doing to ensure that the forthcoming United Nations Millennium NGO Forum will receive representations from adequate numbers of Asian and black-led non-governmental organisations. [HL 1746]

Baroness Scotland of Asithal

We strongly support the Millennium Forum's commitment to ensuring that the event be truly representative of global civil society by securing the participation of civil society groups from developed and developing countries. We have offered financial assistance to the forum to help fund the attendance of civil society representatives from less developed countries.
