HC Deb 20 April 1977 vol 930 cc111-2W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he intends to take to prevent any further supply of military materials by ICI to the Republic of South Africa, as detailed in a report presented by Christian Concern for Southern Africa to Sir Rowland Wright, Chairman of ICI.

Mr. Rowlands

ICI. like any other British company, are subject to the Government's policy on the embargo on arms sales to South Africa. I have seen nothing in the report of Christian Concern for Southern Africa to suggest that it is in breach of that policy. On the question of the activities of South African companies in which ICI has an interest, I refer my hon. Friend to my hon. Friend the Minister of State for Defence's reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Salford, East (Mr. Allaun) on 8th February.—[Vol. 925, c. 658.]
