HC Deb 21 March 1973 vol 853 c75W
32. Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has now received requests for the supply of maritime arms for the defence of the Cape route from the Government of South Africa.

Sir Alec Douglas-Home

As I told the House on 12th July 1971, I will inform it of any decision to supply maritime arms to South Africa. The position remains that no orders have been received.—[Vol. 821, c. 20–22.]
