§ 61. Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why Her Majesety's Government voted for United Nations Security Council Resolution 318, adopted on 28th July, 1972; what prior consultation took place with the United States representative who abstained; and what changes will result in the application of sanctions against Rhodesia by Her Majesty's and other Governments.
§ Mr. KershawWe voted for the resolution because it is in line with our policy on sanctions. It was discussed with the United States and other delegations at the United Nations, but these exchanges must remain confidential. The resolution does not require any change in the way Her Majesty's Government apply sanctions. I cannot speak for other Governments.
§ 62. Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has now received about the proposed participation of Rhodesia at the forthcoming Olympic Games; what action he has taken; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. KershawI have received no representations from Governments on this matter. I have received a number of letters and oral representations from individuals in this country. On the question of action, I have nothing to add to the answer which my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. Member for Ormskirk (Mr. Soref) on 24th July. The matter is entirely one for the Federal German Government.—[Vol. 841, c.206.]
