HC Deb 19 April 1971 vol 815 c343W
Sir R. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he proposes to take to enable companies registered in the United Kingdom which have subsidiaries in Rhodesia to obtain supplies of raw materials, such as asbestos, from that country to enable them to resume manufacturing for the home and export market, and to make available the capital which is frozen there.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The matters to which my hon. Friend refers cannot be separated from the general policy of sanctions, which are applied under mandatory resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nations.
