HC Deb 28 March 1969 vol 780 c368W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why Great Britain abstained in the recent vote at the United Nations on South-West Africa.

Mr. Whitlock

Our reasons for abstaining were set out by my right hon. and noble Friend, Lord Caradon, in his statement to the Security Council on 20th March, a copy of which is available in the Library of the House.
