HC Deb 02 November 1965 vol 718 c135W
10. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations, when considering a new constitution for Rhodesia, what evidence he has taken into account about experience gained from the operation of the constitutions in former British possessions in Africa on the basis of which independence was granted.

Mr. Bottomley

The former British possessions in Africa whose experience is most relevant to the Rhodesian situation are probably South Africa, Kenya and Zambia. In dealing with the Rhodesian problem we have had these countries much in mind.
