§ Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Prime Minister why representatives of the African National Congress were asked by officials of the United Kingdom mission to the United Nations not to offer her congratulations on the occasion of her recent speech to the United Nations General Assembly.
§ The Prime MinisterWe look to the African National Congress to agree to the suspension of violence on the basis set out in the negotiating concept of the Commonwealth eminent persons group. It has not yet done so. The question of ministerial contact with the ANC is viewed in this context.
