§ Mr. Parryasked the Prime Minister if she will list in the Official Report the representations she has received concerning the proposed visit of Mr. Botha.
§ The Prime MinisterI have received some 250 representations concerning Mr. Botha's visit. It would not be practical to list them all but they include the following:
- National Association of Community Relations Councils
- London Association of Community Relations Councils
- London Borough of Brent
- Leader of the GLC
- Standing Conference of Afro-Caribbean and Asian Councillors
In addition I met Bishop Trevor Huddleston on 30 May as a representative of the Anti-Apartheid Movement. I have made clear in response to these representations that the visit signals no change in our policy of fundamental disagreement with apartheid, but affords a major opportunity to express our views to the South African Government on bilateral and regional issues.
