§ Q1. Mr. Juddasked the Prime Minister if he will publish the representations he has received from the Prime Minister of South Africa concerning the modifications of external guarantees as set out in the "Fearless" proposals; and what reply he has sent.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Wilson)I have had no such representations, Sir.
§ Mr. JuddWill my hon. Friend take this opportunity to scotch the rumours altogether that the Government are pre paring to make concessions beyond those offered in "Fearless"? Does he appreciate that he would have widespread respect and support in the House if, in the light of the intransigence of the regime, he felt that he should withdraw the "Fearless" proposals altogether?
§ The Prime MinisterIn answer to the first part of my hon. Friend's supplementary question, we have made it clear that we have gone as far as we can in this matter and that we regard the "Fear less" proposals as reasonable and right and not subject to further extension. With regard to the second part of my hon. Friend's supplementary question, he will understand that the Government do not accept the advice he gives.
