HC Deb 17 January 1977 vol 924 c74W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why the United Kingdom representative voted in the Security Council in favour of Angola's application for United Nations membership.

Mr. Rowlands

We have consistently supported the principle of universality of membership of the United Nations. As a sovereign, independent State, which we have recognised, Angola has the right to membership.
