20. Mr. Hamiltonasked the Minister of Defence if he will take steps to abrogate the defence agreement with South Africa.
§ Mr. C. Ian Orr-EwingI have been asked to reply.
No. The only form of agreement on defence between us and South Africa is for the use of the facilities at the Simonstown Base and the defence of the sea routes around the Cape of Good Hope, in which we continue to have a mutual interest.
