HC Deb 07 April 1977 vol 929 c1404
Q5. Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Prime Minister whether he will make a statement on the forthcoming Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference.

The Prime Minister

I refer my hon. Friend to the replies that I gave to him and to my hon. Friend the Member for Derby, North (Mr. Whitehead) in the exchanges following my statement to the House on 15th March.

Mr. Janner

Can my right hon. Friend now assure the House that President Amin will not be attending this conference? Is he aware of the considerable feeling in my constituency and elsewhere that the presence of this man would make a mockery of any remaining ideals of our Commonwealth?

The Prime Minister

I know the feelings that exist not only in my hon. and learned Friend's constituency but more widely, but I have nothing to add to the replies that I have given previously on this matter.
