§ Mr. Winnickasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will state the number of those now held by the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia in detention on political grounds; and what action is 200W being undertaken by Her Majesty's Government in regard to these British subjects.
§ Mr. FoleyOn 17th January Mr. Lardner-Burke told the Rhodesian Legislature that there were 142 persons in detention in Rhodesia and 237 in restriction camps. I do not know how many of these are detained or restricted on political grounds.
The interests of the people of Rhodesia as a whole would be best protected by a return to constitutional rule; and that is what we are working for.
