HC Deb 30 July 1974 vol 878 c193W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when representations were last made to the Rhodesian régime for the release of political prisoners detained without trial; and what further steps he intends to take.

Mr. Ennals

The Rhodesian régime have been made well aware of our strong view that these people should be either tried or released. My right hon. Friend recently publicly condemned the renewed detention of Dr. Edson Sithole. We shall continue to press the Rhodesians to release the detainees.
