54. Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consultations he has now had with African Commonwealth States about the resumption of negotiations with the Smith regime in Rhodesia.

None. All Commonwealth leaders were informed before and at the Singapore Conference that we are seeking to establish whether a basis can be found for negotiations under the Five Principles.
