The Earl of Northesk

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 8 May (WA 202), whether they will list the members of the United Nations, other than Austria, in respect of whose Ministers the United Kingdom currently has a policy of refusing bilateral discussions. [HL2379]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

Austria is the only member of the United Nations with which, other than as part of an EU Common Position, we do not have bilateral ministerial discussions although we maintain diplomatic relations.
