HC Deb 22 February 1971 vol 812 cc15-6W
66. Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what control the British Government exercises over the work of those in 6–8 Agar Street under contract to the illegal régime in Southern Rhodesia.

Mr. Godber

The staff working in the office at 6–11 Agar Street are engaged on activities of a broadly humanitarian nature, principally the payment of pensions. This is subject to the concurrence of Her Majesty's Government.

76. Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether any of the South African police and troops operating in Southern Rhodesia are supplied from, given air support from, or make use of the medical facilities available at, the Katima Mulilo air base in the Caprivi Strip.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

According to my information there are no South African troops in Rhodesia. I am not aware of any contact between South African Police in Rhodesia and the air base at Katima Mulilo.
