§ Mr. E. Rowlandsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what were the conditions Her Majesty's Government imposed upon the proposed visit of the East German hockey team to Wales which has led to the cancellation of the visit; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe organisers of this visit were asked to give an assurance that the East German national flag and emblem would not be shown; that their national anthem would not be played; and that the team would not be described as being from the "German Democratic Republic". These assurances which follow agreed practice were given and there was therefore no obstacle102W from our point of view to the team coming here. East German teams have taken part in many events in this country in the past on these conditions.
