asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will instruct the United Kingdom delegation to the United Nations to support the proposal made in the Security Council on 13 December 1984 by the then Chairman of the Security Council Committee established under Resolution 421 (1977) that the United Nations Security Council considers the Committee's report (S-14179); and if he will instruct the United Kingdom delegation to support the recommendations contained in paragraph 81 of this report.

As is recorded in paragraph 82 of the report to which the hon. Member refers, the United Kingdom delegation placed a general reservation on the recommendation in paragraph 81 of the report. Our position is thus already on record.
