HC Deb 25 June 1984 vol 62 c350W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will now seek, in the terms of the Gleneagles agreement, to discourage contact and competition between British and Israeli sportsmen; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

No.

Mr. John Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy towards sporting contact between disabled United Kingdom and South African athletes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

All governing bodies of sport have been informed that, as part of its obligations under the Commonwealth Statement on Apartheid in Sport, the Government discourage sporting contact with South Africa. It is not my practice to advise the British Sports Association for the Disabled further.
