§ 11. Mr. Dugdaleasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations if he will state the conditions imposed by Her Majesty's Government on the 641 granting of permission for a railway to be built across Swaziland.
§ Mr. BraineThe question whether a railway should be built across Swaziland is still under consideration.
§ Mr. DugdaleWhen it is considered, will the hon. Gentleman see that some advantage is given to Swaziland and that it is not merely for the benefit of the people on either side?
§ Mr. BraineCertainly, Sir.
§ Mr. BrockwayHow will the hon. Gentleman see to it that apartheid is not practised on this railway service if it is to be a South African railway?
§ Mr. BraineWho will operate the railway is a matter which is under consideration. There will be no question of the racial policies of any country outside the Commonwealth being applied to Swaziland.
§ Mr. BrockwayThey are in Basutoland.
