HC Deb 25 February 1977 vol 926 c718W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what hope he can give to holders of blocked savings invested in Rhodesia of such funds being remitted to their legal owners resident in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Tomlinson

The restrictions on the remission of funds to the United Kingdom are imposed by the illegal regime in Rhodesia, and until such time as there is a settlement to the Rhodesia problem there is little hope of the blocked funds being released.
