HC Deb 25 January 1980 vol 977 c390W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on his discussions with the governing bodies of rugby on the proposed tour of South Africa.

Mr. Monro

I have had no such discussions since my reply to the hon. Member of 12 December on the same matter. I did, however, write to the chairman of the rugby union's tours committee on 3 January emphasising the Government view about the proposed tour of South Africa by the British Lions.—[Vol. 975, c. 1277.]
