HC Deb 28 January 1964 vol 688 c30W
45. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he has taken, or intends to take, to prevent the use of British capital in South Africa for the purpose of small arms manufacture, including the production of tear gas.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

As South Africa is a member of the sterling area, I have no power to do this. It would, in any event, be ineffective.
