§ 107. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will arrange to defray the expenses of British subjects in Rhodesia who have to resort to Her Majesty's Embassy or consular officials in Pretoria because of the closing of the United Kingdom Residual Mission in Salisbury.
§ Mr. FoleyNo. The closing of a United Kingdom post in one part of the world is never ground for meeting the expenses of British subjects in their resort to another.
§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to organise and attend a conference of coloured persons and their sympathisers in Rhodesia in 191W order to elicit their views on the recent attempted constitutional changes there.
§ Mr. FoleyI am afraid that this would not be practicable. But, as my right hon. Friend said in the House on 24th June, I have no doubt that the immense weight of African opinion is against these constitutional proposals.—[Vol. 785, c. 1224.]
