§ Mr. Roy Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further guidance he is giving to sporting organisations in this country as regards playing against South African teams following the recent case of Mr. Basil D'Oliveira.
§ Mr. Denis HowellThe Government's abhorrence of apartheid has been made clear on many occasions and no grants are made in respect of participation in sporting events in South Africa. However, sportsmen have the same freedom as other British citizens to go to South Africa and the decision whether to play against South African teams is a matter for the British team, the governing body and the individuals concerned.
