§ Mr. Robert Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now withdraw British military attaches from South Africa and take steps to terminate the arrangement whereby the South African embassy in London has a military attaché section.
§ Mr. RifkindNo. We have defence attaches based in many countries, under customary reciprocal arrangements, where we judge it to be in our interests to do so, whether or not we have military co-operation with them.
