HC Deb 05 June 1986 vol 98 c626W 626W

§ Mr. Tony Banks
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek the removal of the military attaches from the South African embassy.

§ Mr. Eggar
As my hon. Frind the Minister of State, the Member for Wallasey (Mrs. Chalker), told the hon. Member for Cynon Valley (Mrs. Clwyd) on 5 March, we agreed with our European partners to withdraw our military attaches from Pretoria and not to grant accreditation to military attaches from South Africa. The continued presence of South African military attaches in Britain remains under review.
