HC Deb 20 October 1966 vol 734 c75W
40. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs how long he estimates will elapse before it will be possible to end the financial burdens of Rhodesian sanctions.

Mr. Bowden

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has made clear, economic sanctions against Rhodesia will be lifted as soon as there has been a return to constitutional government.

41. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs if he will arrange for a survey to be carried out in Rhodesia in order to assess the effect of sanctions on the political thinking of Rhodesian Africans and European Africans, respectively; and if he will publish the results of the survey.

Mr. Bowden

No—this would be an impossible exercise in the country where the Press, radio and television are closely censored.
