HC Deb 02 August 1966 vol 733 cc85-6W
Mr. Evelyn King

Ql1. asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that oil is still arriving in Rhodesia, he will recommend to the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference the abandonment of oil sanctions.

The Prime Minister

No.

Q14. Mr. Judd

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government is still committed to a period of direct rule in Rhodesia as a necessary transitional period between the ending of the illegal régime and the implementation of majority rule on a basis acceptable to the people of Rhodesia as a whole.

The Prime Minister

My hon. Friend's Question does not correctly summarise Her Majesty's Government's position on these matters, for which I would refer him to my statement to the House on 25th January last.
