HC Deb 28 November 1968 vol 774 c180W
Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he will take steps to buy at an equitable price Rhodesian stock, which because of nonpayment of interest through Government action is unnegotiable.

Mr. Harold Lever

I cannot accept any responsibility for Rhodesian stock. The non-payment of interest is a consequence of the illegal declaration of independence, not of any action of Her Majesty's Government. Obviously this affects the price, but the stock remains negotiable.
