HC Deb 27 January 1972 vol 829 c1616
Q7. Mr. Arthur Davidson

asked the Prime Minister when he next intends to meet the Prime Minister of the Republic of South Africa.

The Prime Minister

I have at present no plans to do so.

Mr. Davidson

In view of the Foreign Secretary's complete inability to get any information from Mr. Smith as to what his intentions are and why he indulges in such boorish behaviour—even by his standards—does not the Prime Minister think that it might be worthwhile having a crack at Mr. Vorster, who obviously understand Mr. Smith very well and might be able to enlighten him as to what Mr. Smith is playing at?

The Prime Minister

No, Sir, I do not think there would be any purpose in doing that.
