HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 c65W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action Her Majesty's Government proposes to take on the United Nations Commission of Human Rights concerning the rounding-up and pressing into labour gangs of African boys aged between eight and 15 years by monitors employed by the Town Council of Boksburg near Johannesburg.

Mr. Kershaw

We have no information about the allegation to which the hon. Member refers and consequently did not raise the matter at the 1972 session of the United Nations Human Rights Commission which ended on 7th April. If the hon. Member will let me have further information about the matter I will look into it.
