HC Deb 01 July 1969 vol 786 cc68-9W
Q14. Sir F. Bennett

asked the Prime Minister which Secretary of State will now exercise the executive authority of Southern Rhodesia on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen; and what additional salary he will receive.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

I have been asked to reply.

The executive authority of Southern Rhodesia may be exercised under the Southern Rhodesia Order, 1965, by a Secretary of State; and if occasion arises for the exercise of such authority it would normally be exercised by my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary. No extra salary is envisaged.
