HC Deb 24 April 1967 vol 745 c206W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make representations to the United States Government that they close the Smith régime's propaganda office in Washington.

Mr. Mulley

No. As my right hon. Friend said in answer to a similar Question on 28th February, 1966, the United States Government have explained that they have no legal power to close it. The United States Government have, however, made it clear that this in no way implied that they recognise the régime or approve of its policies.—[Vol. 742, c.173.]
