HC Deb 06 December 1971 vol 827 c226W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is now able to say on what basis and in what way he expects to initiate a scheme to obtain the views of the Rhodesian people both black and white on the question of the settlement of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence dispute and the acceptance or otherwise of the agreement between the illegal regime and Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Kershaw

I would refer the hon. Member to the statements made by my right hon. Friend and by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General, in the recent debate on Rhodesia. The Commission's method of operation will be the responsibility of the Chairman and his colleagues.—[Vol. 827, c. 475–6; c. 599–600.]
