HC Deb 02 November 1976 vol 918 cc568-9W
Mr. Hooky

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will demand that the Smith régime release Evans Maruma, Elijah Masibi and Nelson Masuku, now held illegally in Khami Prison.

Mr. Rowlands

The illegal régime can be in no doubt about Her Majesty's Government's attitude towards the imprisonment of persons in Rhodesia for political offences.

Mr. Jessel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs who is responsible for providing for the hotel expenses of the various representatives of Rhodesia attending the conference on the future of Rhodesia in Geneva; and what is the approximate weekly cost.

Mr. Rowlands

Each delegation is responsible for its own expenses in Geneva. But Her Majesty's Government have offered to pay a total of 1,800 Swiss francs each day for each delegation towards hotel expenses. The weekly cost for each delegation will depend upon the size of the delegation and the standard of accommodation arranged.
