HC Deb 04 June 1986 vol 98 c571W
Mr. Parry

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Government of South Africa concerning the prisoners known as the Sharpeville Six; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

The South African Government are well aware of our views: the British ambassador at Cape Town has made representations about the Sharpeville Six to the South African Deputy Foreign Minister. The six were recently granted leave to appeal against their convictions.
