HC Deb 13 March 1968 vol 760 cc327-8W
117. Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Government of Zambia in regard to the stoning of the premises of the United Kingdom High Commission in Lusaka, on 7th March, to secure appropriate redress in respect of this occurrence and to ensure that there is no repetition of such attacks.

Mr. George Thomas

The British High Commissioner in Lusaka sent a Note to the Zambian Foreign Ministry on 7th March; later the same day he saw the Zambian Foreign Minister and received an assurance that all that was possible would be done to protect the High Com - mission and its personnel and to prevent a recurrence of such incidents. The Zambian Government will in due course be informed of the cost of repairs to the High Commission.
