ENLARGEMENT OF THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL

That this House notes the recent report of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee and its support for India to have a seat on the Security Council as part of a wider enlargement; agrees that India, as the second largest country in the world, with long democratic traditions, has an excellent claim for a seat on the enlarged Security Council; and believes that any British Government, of whatever political complexion, should not support such a claim until India has resolved the long-standing Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes of the people of Kashmir and in fulfilment of the outstanding UN Resolution on the issue of Kashmir.
