HC Deb 28 November 1968 vol 774 cc177-8W
68. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will intervene to veto the takeover of Solomon and Company Limited, the principal trading organisation on St. Helena, by a company which is controlled by South African interests.

Mr. Whitlock

No. As I told my hon. Friend on 11th November, this whole matter has been the subject of consultation with the Governor of St. Helena and is to be discussed further with him and with representatives of the Islanders in London next month.—[Vol. 773, c. 21–2.]
