§ 68. Mr. Warbeyasked the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs what steps he is taking to make known to the General Assembly of U.N.O. the views of 202W the chiefs of Bechuanaland in regard to the claim of the Union of South Africa for the incorporation of the mandated territory of South-West Africa into the Union.
§ Captain StewartThe views of the chiefs have of course received ample publicity, and were taken into account when the instructions to be given to the United Kingdom Delegation to the General Assembly of the United Nations were considered. The United Kingdom Delegation cannot however submit views with which His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom are not in agreement. As has previously been explained, it is not considered that the interests of the Bechuanaland Protectorate can be regarded as involved in the question of the future status of South-West Africa.
