HC Deb 01 April 1968 vol 762 c8W
73. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, what action Her Majesty's Government is taking to comply with the request of the Commission on Human Rights that they take immediate and effective steps to save the lives of the remaining 100 or more political prisoners unlawfully detained by the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The policy of Her Majesty's Government, as we have often stated, is to continue to work for a restoration of legality in Rhodesia. In our opinion this is the proper means to safeguard the rights of prisoners and detained persons there.
