HC Deb 23 November 1965 vol 721 c39W
Sir E. Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what contacts he has, or proposes to have, with Rhodesian citizens which are aimed at getting a quick settlement of the present difficulties; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Bottomley

There can be no question of our having contact with the illegal regime. We are, however, always prepared to meet responsible Rhodesian citizens who may be able to contribute to the restoration of Constitutional Government in Rhodesia.
