HC Deb 02 July 1985 vol 82 c110W
Sir Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what study has been made of the effect of disinvestment in South Africa; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

We pay close attention to this question. We do not believe that disinvestment would achieve the changes we want to see in South Africa. On the contrary, we believe that trade and investment links are an important means of encouraging change.
