§ Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of South Africa concerning its policy of removing the Hoachanas people of Namibia to a new location, in view of the international character of the territory.
§ Mr. FoleyNone so far. This question, which was the subject of a United Nations General Assembly Resolution in 1959, was recently raised again in a letter to the Chairman of the United Nations Trusteeship Council by the Reverend Markus Kooper, on behalf of the Hoachanas people. Her Majesty's 125W Government are pursuing inquiries into the facts of the current situation in the light of this new approach. As regards the international character of South West Africa, I would invite my hon. Friend's attention to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend, the Member for Hampstead (Mr. Whitaker) on 14th February.—[Vol. 777, c. 408–9.]
