§ Mr. Juddasked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards applications by Service personnel at present serving with Her Majesty's Armed Services for employment by the illegal Smith regime, in view of its rebellion against the Crown.
§ Mr. Ian GilmourNo officer holding a commission or drawing retired pay may enter the service of any Government outside the United Kingdom, any organisation sponsored by such a Government, or any international organisation, without the consent of the Defence Council. An application to retire from the Armed Forces to take up an appointment in Southern Rhodesia would fall to be considered in the light of the policy of Her Majesty's Government in regard to that country, the type of post concerned, and the circumstances of the individual case.
