HC Deb 27 November 1964 vol 702 cc225-6W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what criteria he uses to determine the extent to which Messrs. Nkomo and Sithole are representative of the Africans of Rhodesia in determining the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards Southern Rhodesia.

Mr. Bottomley

In approaching the problem of Southern Rhodesia's future, it has to be recognised that Mr. Nkomo and Mr. Sithole are acknowledged, both inside and outside Rhodesia, as the leaders of African nationalist opinion.
