§ Mr. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he is satisfied that there are enough ships and aircraft for the Beira patrol; and what is his policy towards it, in view of the Government's policy of strengthening sanctions against Rhodesia.
§ Mr. MasonYes. We shall continue to take whatever steps are considered to be necessary to fulfil our obligations under Security Council Resolution No. 221 of 1966. As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs said in the House on 19th March—[Vol. 870, c. 873–4]—we are also examining ways in which sanctions against Rhodesia can be made more effective.
