Your UN.522 [1] and 482. [2]
Minister instructed Bailey and Watt to the effect that any
organisation should be a commission of Economic and Social
Council. In this connection he expressed view that we should give
no encouragement to additional specialised agencies or independent
organisations and that any matter requiring attention of
governments within the field of Economic and Social Council should
be dealt with by the Council or a commission set up by it. This
should guide you when matter discussed at Assembly.
2. See Departmental paper [3] on agenda item 23 reporting the
views of Inter-Departmental Committee which will receive
consideration of Government in due course. Neither Immigration or
Treasury attach importance to participation and you should
carefully avoid any commitment unless otherwise instructed, in
particular avoid suggesting that the Government will make any
significant financial contribution.
