HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 cc327-8W
74. Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to be able to make a statement on the Rhodesian negotiations.

Mr. Kershaw

I regret that I cannot forecast the timing of a further statement at this stage.

78. Mr. Soref

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what developments have transpired regarding the organisation operating as Cold Comfort Farm in Rhodesia following the evidence which has been brought to his attention by the hon. Member for Ormskirk that this organisa- tion was engaged in active support of acts of violence and terrorism.

Mr. Kershaw

I understand that the Rhodesians have ordered the closure of Cold Comfort Farm, but I do not think it right to conclude that this organisation was engaged in active support of acts of violence and terrorism on the basis of Press reports of a case against a member of it.
