HC Deb 24 November 1965 vol 721 c75W
101. Mr. Harold Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what advice he will offer to British policemen, who have committed themselves to joining the Rhodesian police force, regarding their status.

Mr. Bottomley

This is a matter for the personal decision of the individuals concerned, but our advice would be to discourage them from joining the police in Rhodesia since they may find themselves placed in a position where it is difficult to avoid actively furthering the causes of the rebellion.
