§ 47. Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on the report he has received from his official observers at the recent trial in Windhoek, South-West Africa; and whether he will publish their report.
§ Mr. M. StewartNo. Reports from officials to me are, of course, confidential. The purpose of sending observers to the 5W trial, which was also attended by official representatives of the United States, Sweden and Germany, was to demonstrate once again our continuing concern as members of the international community at the holding of a trial of South-West Africans under the Terrorism Act.
