HC Deb 13 July 1977 vol 935 c191W
26. Dr. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will reconsider, on humanitarian grounds, his decision to refuse entry to a multi-racial paraplegic team from Rhodesia to compete in the International Stoke Mandeville Games.

Mr. Rowlands

The Chairman of the Rhodesian Paraplegic Association has stated publicly that any individual members of the Rhodesian team who competed in the Stoke Mandeville Games would be representing Rhodesia. In the face of this. we could not agree to the entry of individual members of the team who wish to compete.
