HC Deb 26 October 1979 vol 972 cc332-3W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has any evidence that the East German troops in Angola, particularly near Ongiwa, and in Mozambique are being deployed in connection with offensive actions against Rhodesia; and if the numbers and types of units deployed constitute a threat to that country.

Sir Ian Gilmour

We have no evidence to suggest that East German personnel in Angola and Mozambique are engaged in offensive action against Rhodesia or constitute a threat to that country.
