§ Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on his discussions with the Portuguese and South African Governments and with other Commonwealth Governments on the latest situation in Rhodesia.
§ Lord BalnielWe have not had any special discussions on Rhodesia recently with the Governments of South Africa, Portugal or Commonwealth countries. Rhodesia has from time to time figured in normal diplomatic exchanges, the contents of which must remain confidential.
§ Mr. Raisonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government are prepared to license the publication of advertisements offering medical appointments in services operated for the benefit of Rhodesian Africans.
§ Lord BalnielHer Majesty's Government's policy is to ameliorate where possible the hardship caused to individuals by sanctions. It has therefore been decided that in future advertisements for medical appointments in services operated primarily for the benefit of Rhodesian Africans will be allowed on humanitarian grounds.
