asked the Lord Privy Seal how the United Kingdom delegate at the United Nations voted on the Afro-Asian resolution which sought early implementation of last year's Assembly resolution demanding immediate steps to the achievement of independence for colonial peoples and the appointment of a 17-man commission to supervise the liquidation of colonialism; and how many delegates voted for and against the resolution and how many abstained.

We abstained. The votes cast by others will be found on page 61 of United Nations Document A/PV 1066 in the Library of the House.
