HC Deb 24 April 1972 vol 835 c175W
8. Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement about his discussions with the Secretary General of the United Nations concerning the occupation of Namibia by South Africa and the assistance to be given to the Ovambo strikers.

Mr. Kershaw

Neither subject was discussed in these terms. At their meeting on 11th April, which covered a wide range of subjects, the Secretary-General told my right hon. Friend about the steps which he has taken in accordance with the terms of Security Council Resolution 309. The substance of their exchanges must for obvious reasons remain confidential.
