§ Mr. SandysI assume the hon. Member is referring in particular to the High Commission Territories. In the event of the South African authorities applying for the return of any persons on the grounds that they have committed an offence under the General Law Amendment Act (referred to as the Sabotage Act) of that country, I would refer the hon. Member to the statement made by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the debate on 26th February. Such persons would of course have to comply with the immigration laws of the territories.
