§ Sir R. Russellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will obtain from the Secretary-General of the United Nations an 195W estimate of the number of people employed in trying to enforce Resolution No. 253 of the Security Council of 1968 initiating mandatory sanctions against Rhodesia.
§ Mr. KershawThe implementation of Security Council Resolution No. 253 is the responsibility of all members of the United Nations. An estimate of this kind would involve an inquiry of all of them, which is not thought to be practicable.

Russellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will give the names of the 26 members of the United Nations, other than South Africa, and the four specialised agencies which, up till 6th June, 1969, had failed to reply to any communication of the Secretary-General of the United Nations requesting information on measures taken to implement Security Council Resolution No. 253 of 1968 as stated in the Third Report of the Committee established in pursuance of the Resolution dated 15th June, 1970.
