HC Deb 14 March 1969 vol 779 c370W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government will propose or support action taken at the United Nations to protect the future of Indian peoples in South America.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Our attitude towards action at the United Nations on this subject would depend on the case that was presented for it. I do not consider that it would be helpful for Her Majesty's Government to take the initiative in raising at the United Nations a matter which so closely concerns the responsibilities of South American Governments.
