HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 cc111-2W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will rescind his ban on the sales of United Kingdom defence equipment to South Africa, in the light of the decision by the United States Government to withdraw restrictions on the sale to South Africa of equipment incorporating components manufactured in or subject to licence from the United States of America.

Mr. Healey

The Government's policy on the export of arms to South Africa, which has been explained on many occasions previously, remains unchanged. I have no reason to believe that United States policy has been altered in any way.
