HC Deb 08 February 1984 vol 53 cc624-5W
Mr. Terlezki

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to conclude with other Western countries an agreement similar to the Gleneagles agreement limiting sporting contacts with countries whose human rights records are in breach of the Helsinki agreement.

Mr. Whitney

No. The Commonwealth statement on apartheid in sport (the Gleneagles Agreement) is directed at a unique situation. South Africa is the only country where by law the granting of human rights is based specifically and exclusively on colour discrimination.
