§ 78. Mr. Longdenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if his attention has been drawn to a report of an Expert Committee appointed by a resolution of the Security Council, S/5773, 18th June, 1964, to undertake a technical and practical survey as to the feasibility, effectiveness and implications of mandatory sanctions; and whether the Committee's recommendation that an international effort should be made to mitigate the hardships caused by such measures to the economies of some member States, for example the United Kingdom, is being implemented.
§ Mr. George ThomsonThe report of the Expert Committee on Sanctions against South Africa was received in London in March, 1965, and copies were placed in the Library of the House. The report has not been considered by the Security Council, and the question of the implementation of its recommendations has not therefore arisen.
