HC Deb 11 December 1978 vol 960 c89W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the results of his investigations into the allegations that weapons and ammunition have been shipped to South Africa via Antigua, a country whose foreign affairs and defence are in British hands; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Rowlands:

Investigations are continuing and we are in touch with the Antiguan, United States and Canadian Governments. Meanwhile, the Antiguan authorities have announced that they are ordering the Space Research Corporation to phase out its operations in the island.
