HC Deb 20 February 1973 vol 851 cc54-5W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any information about the whereabouts and state of health of Mr Hawksworth, a British subject captured by African guerrilla fighters.

Mr. Anthony Royle

We have always made it clear to British subjects travelling to Rhodesia that we cannot offer them consular protection in Rhodesia. Nevertheless, we asked our posts in neighbouring countries to try to obtain any information they could about Mr. Hawksworth's whereabouts. They have not so far succeeded.
