Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations he has made to the Swiss Government regarding the 70 per cent. increase in Swiss imports from Rhodesia, and the maintenance of the level of Swiss exports to Rhodesia during the first four months of 1967 compared to the first four months of 1966.
§ Mr. George ThomsonThe Swiss Government, which is not of course a member of the United Nations, has declared that for reasons of principle it cannot submit to the Security Council Resolution of 16th December, 1966. Nevertheless, I have been and am still in contact with the Swiss Government about continuing trade between Switzerland and Rhodesia in commodities specified in the Resolution.
