HC Deb 25 April 1967 vol 745 cc246-7W
67. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government recognise de facto or de jure the present administration in Sierra Leone.

72. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether there has been any interruption of Her Majesty's Government's recognition of the Sierra Leone Government; and what is Sierra Leone's present status in the Commonwealth.

76. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about British recognition of the constitutional position in Sierra Leone.

77. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs to whom the British High Commissioner in Sierra Leone is now accredited.

Mr. Bowden

As there has been no change in the Head of State of Sierra Leone, no formal act of recognition by Her Majesty's Government of the new Government of Sierra Leone is necessary. Sierra Leone remains an independent member of the Commonwealth.
