HC Deb 27 November 1978 vol 959 cc40-1W
Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether his statement of policy on possible oil sanctions against South Africa on Wednesday 22nd November implies the abandonment by Her Majesty's Government of support for the principles enshrined in section 7 of article 2 of the charter of the United Nations.

Mr. Rowlands:

No. Article 2(7) itself provides expressly that the principles contained therein shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under chapter VII.
