HC Deb 23 February 1976 vol 906 cc111-2W
Mr. Goodhew

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will define the extent of his responsibility for the territorial integrity of the Crown Colony of Rhodesia.

Sir Frederic Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Southern Rhodesia remains a Crown Colony; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ennals

The status of Southern Rhodesia has not changed. As stated in Section 1 of the Southern Rhodesia Act 1965, it continues to be part of Her Majesty's dominions, and the Government and Parliament of the United Kingdom have responsibility for it.
