§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his latest estimate of the United Kingdom's accumulated investment in Rhodesia.
§ Mr. LuardAs a result of differing methods of calculation there are wide discrepancies in the figures produced by various sources. The official estimate at the end of 1971, the latest for which details are available, put British investment in Rhodesia at about £78.7 million. This figure excludes investment in oil, banking and insurance. I would emphasise that the figures can only be approximate.
§ Mr. Brocklebank-Fowlerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his estimate of the cost to date of the United Kingdom's part in sanctions against Rhodesia.
