HC Deb 12 June 1972 vol 838 c190W
41. Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States Administration regarding the decision not to reimpose the ban on the import of Rhodesian chrome.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

None. This was an act of the United States Congress against, I understand, the wishes of the United States Administration.

Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further discussions he intends to undertake with the African National Council following publication of the Pearce Report.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

I have no present plans to hold consultations with the African National Council.

Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further representations he has now received from Rhodesian Africans resident in Great Britain regarding the report of the Pearce Commission; and what reply he has sent.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

I have received no representations from Rhodesian Africans in Britain since the Pearce Report was published.
