HC Deb 23 February 1979 vol 963 c369W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many civil servants are currently engaged in monitoring breaches of sanctions against Rhodesia.

Dr. Owen

Four members of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office are engaged virtually full time in monitoring breaches of Rhodesian sanctions. Sanctions monitoring is also part of the duties of a substantial number of other Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials—including staff at overseas posts—and civil servants in other Whitehall Departments.
