HC Deb 15 June 1961 vol 642 cc69-70W
46. Mr. Marquand

asked the Prime Minister when he received the request to meet him from a representative of the National Democratic Party of Southern Rhodesia, who came to London for that purpose; and what reply he gave.

The Prime Minister

A request that I should receive a representative of the National Democratic Party of Southern Rhodesia was received by telephone on 9th June. The reply was that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations would be happy to see him, but he has not so far availed himself of this invitation. The request was repeated in a letter dated 13th June and I repeated the reply.
