§ Mr. Juddasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Governments of South Africa and Portugal urging them not to aid and abet the blockade of Zambia by the illegal Smith régime in Rhodesia, and representations to the Government of Zambia assuring them of British support in the face of the illegal régime's action; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Lord BalnielWe have been in contact with the Rhodesian authorities and the Zambian Government and we are also keeping in touch with other interested Governments. We have no reason to think that the South African or Portuguese Governments have assisted the Rhodesian authorities in their blockade of Zambia.
