HC Deb 16 March 2000 vol 346 c289W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proposals for reform of the United Nations, Her Majesty's Government will be putting forward at the Millennium Assembly and Summit in September this year. [114779]

Mr. Hain

The Government, along with our EU partners, are pressing for a high-level discussion on strengthening the United Nations at the Millennium Summit. At the Millennium Assembly, we will work for further modernisation of the UN along the lines of the Secretary-General's 1997 "Track II" package of reform recommendations in order to make the UN more efficient and effective and better able to meet the needs of all its members.
