HC Deb 16 December 1969 vol 793 c308W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United Nations Committee on Rhodesian sanctions concerning the threat to the sanctions policy presented both by the construction and the operation of the proposed Cabora Bassa dam in Mozambique.

Mr. Foley

None. The proposed construction of a dam at Cabora Bassa in Mozambique is not within the ambit of Security Council Resolution No. 253 (1968). There would be a contravention of the resolution if Rhodesian materials were used, but there is, as yet, no evidence of this.

Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the representations he has made to other Governments concerning the threat to the Rhodesian sanctions policy presented both by the construction and the operation of the proposed Cabora Bassa dam in Mozambique.

Mr. Foley

No such representations have been made.
