§ LORD BROCKWAYMy Lords, I beg leave to ask the Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.
§ [The Question was as follows:
§ To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in view of the new Rhodesian Constitution excluding the possibility of majority rule and establishing apartheid, the "Fearless" proposals for a settlement will be withdrawn.]
§ THE MINISTER OF STATE, FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (LORD SHEPHERD)My Lords, with the permission of the House I shall be repeating at about 3.30 p.m. a Statement on Rhodesia which my right honourable friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary will be making in another place.
