Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will now take the necessary action to initiate a constitutional conference between Her Majesty's Government and the representatives of the ruling parties and the representatives of the African population in Rhodesia with the purpose of establishing a democratic system of government in Rhodesia.

Her Majesty's Government must await the Pearce Commission's report before determining future policy towards Rhodesia.
