HC Deb 30 April 1974 vol 872 c442W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to ensure that freedom fighters captured in Southern Rhodesia by the troops or police of the illegal regime are treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention.

Miss Joan Lestor

We believe that such people should be treated in accordance with universally accepted humanitarian principles. The Rhodesian authorities are aware of our views, but, as my hon. Friend knows, our ability to influence their actions is limited.
