HC Deb 03 March 1976 vol 906 c664W
Dr. Vaughan

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps she is taking to conclude a reciprocal social security agreement with the Republic of South Africa.

Mr. O'Malley

No negotiations are planned at present. It would be difficult for the United Kingdom to conclude a reciprocal agreement on social security with South Africa in view of the wide difference between the schemes of the two countries.
