HC Deb 09 June 1976 vol 912 c680W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how the United Kingdom delegate voted on UN Security Council Resolution 386 (1976) concerning Mozambique; what statement he made on that occasion on behalf of Her Majesty's Government; and whether he made any proposal that that section of the Resolution which condemned "provocative and aggressive acts" by Rhodesia against Mozambique should be widened to include a condemnation of the support and comfort being given by Mozambique to terrorists operating from that country against Rhodesia.

Mr. Rowlands

Britain voted in favour of Security Council Resolution 386, which was passed unanimously. A copy of the statement made by the United Kingdom's Permanent Representative is in the Library. It concentrated on the main aim of the resolution—the need to support sanctions—and emphasised the importance we attach to a peaceful transfer of power.
