§ Mr. FoleyIn so far as applications to the Passport Office by active supporters of the illegal régime in Rhodesia are concerned, the matter is already covered by the arrangements outlined in the statement circulated on 27th June by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs.
