§ 77. Mr. Ronald Bellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what inquiries he made as to the safeguarding in Aden of the six principles which it is Her Majesty's Government's policy to maintain in relation to Rhodesia before advising Her Majesty to relinquish her sovereignty over the colony of Aden.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThe situations in Rhodesia and Aden are not comparable. All the available evidence suggests that the Government of the People's Republic of Southern Yemen had by its inception secured the acceptance of a large majority of the population of the country generally including that of the former Colony of Aden. In Rhodesia, on the other hand, there is a regime which illegally purported to seize independence and which is supported mainly by a racially distinct minority.
