HC Deb 25 October 1966 vol 734 c130W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much sterling stands to the credit of the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia in London; whether, since the Bank of England has ruled that the debt service of Rhodesia Government loans raised on the London market could not be effected because funds were not available, Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom as assumed responsibility for such debt service; and what is being done otherwise to safeguard the interests of United Kingdom creditors.

Mr. Callaghan

The information asked for in the first part of the Question is confidential. The Answer to the second part is "No." The Answer to the third part is that the restoration of constitutional Government in Rhodesia, which is the aim of Her Majesty's Government, is in the interests of all.
