§ Q19. Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied with the way in which the policy of mandatory sanctions against Rhodesia has been accepted in principle and is working in practice; and what evidence he has that any members of the United Nations Organisation are refusing to observe the decision of the Security Council in this matter.
§ Mr. M. StewartI have been asked to reply.
Implementation of the Security Council Resolution inevitably takes time and no meaningful progress report can yet be given to the House. Her Majesty's Government are, however, well satisfied with the evidence of massive international support they have so far received.
§ Mr. Juddasked the Prime Minister whether the British Government are now willing to take any necessary action to ensure that mandatory sanctions against Rhodesia are made effective.
§ Mr. M. StewartI have been asked to reply.
I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answers to Questions given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 20th December—[Vol. 738, c. 1175–83.]
