HC Deb 18 November 1983 vol 48 c595W
Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent representations he has received about the Gleneagles agreement; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Macfarlane

I have recently received several letters from individuals and organisations on this subject. The Government support the 1977 Commonwealth statement on apartheid in sport and I fulfil the undertaking this embodies to discourage British sporting contacts with South Africa.
