HC Deb 21 December 1976 vol 923 c119W
Mr. Grocott

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish the full text of the Geneva Conference on Rhodesia.

Mr. Rowlands

When the conference has concluded, my right hon. Friend intends to follow the normal practice of issuing a Command Paper.

Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps have been taken by Her Majesty's Government to secure a reduction in the escalating level of terrorist violence against Rhodesia while the Geneva talks are in progress or only temporarily adjourned; and what representations have been made to the Russian Government in regard to the financing, arming and training of these forces.

Mr. Rowlands

The Government believe that the best hope of averting further bloodshed in Rhodesia lies in pressing ahead with the search for a negotiated settlement to the underlying political problem of that country.
