HC Deb 14 July 1966 vol 731 c267W
Q19. Mr. Driberg

asked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied that the illegal regime n Rhodesia will be removed by the end of July; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I have as yet nothing to add to the Statement I made in the House on 5th July.

Q20. Mr. Driberg

asked the Prime Minister what evidence he has that arms or other goods made in Belgium are being exported to Rhodesia; and what representations on this matter are being made to the Belgian Government.

The Prime Minister

I have seen the recent Reuter's report of the claim by a Z.A.P.U. spokesman that a consignment of Belgian rifles had reached Rhodesia. The Belgian authorities have assured us that no licences have been issued for the export of weapons to Rhodesia since the imposition of their arms ban following the illegal declaration of independence.
