HC Deb 04 July 1973 vol 859 cc105-6W
23. Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs by what criteria Her Majesty's Government decide upon the de jure recognition of foreign ré gimes.

Mr. Amery

Forde jure recognition a Government must be held to enjoy, with a reasonable prospect of permanency, the obedience of the mass of the population and the effective control of much the greater part of the national territory.
