§ Q6. Mr. D. Footasked the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty's Government have considered the report of the United Nations Special Committee on South Africa; and whether he will propose that the report shall be discussed at the forthcoming meeting of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers.
§ The Prime MinisterWe have received a copy of this report and we are studying it.
It is not our practice to reveal details of the agenda for Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conferences.
§ Mr. FootDoes not the right hon. Gentleman appreciate that this report will be one of the principal topics for debate at the next meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations, if not sooner in the Security Council? In the circumstances, does not he think that the issues which it covers should be considered by the Prime Ministers' conference?
§ The Prime MinisterIt may be that this question will be raised at the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference. I cannot tell. As I say, we are considering the report ourselves.
§ Mr. RidleyIn view of the Opposition's great interest in this subject, might it be a good idea if the Leader of the Opposition were to call a Commonwealth conference of Leaders of the Opposition?
