HC Deb 13 December 1966 vol 738 cc50-1W
Q16. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Prime Minister whether steps are being taken to inform the Rhodesian public of the working agreement reached and the offer of independence under reasonable conditions which resulted from his meeting with Mr. Smith, so that they will realise what action is necessary on their part to bring about peaceful progress in Rhodesia.

The Prime Minister

I can assure the hon. Member that we are taking all possible steps to inform the Rhodesian public of the working document and the other results of the meeting in H.M.S. "Tiger".

Q18. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Prime Minister whether, in his meeting with Mr. Ian Smith in H.M.S. "Tiger" or on other occasions, he proposed that before the interim period described in Chapter III of Command Paper No. 3159, began, the Southern Rhodesia Act 1965 should be repealed or amended; and, if the latter, in what sense.

The Prime Minister

This matter was not discussed in H.M.S. "Tiger", or elsewhere.
