Mr. RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the issue of nuclear sanctions against South Africa will be on the agenda for the forthcoming Council of Ministers meeting in Granada, Spain, on 15 and 16 April; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThere was no discussion of nuclear sanctions against South Africa at Granada, although the possibility of South Africa's accession to the nonproliferation treaty was noted and EC Foreign Ministers agreed to keep it under review.
It remains our policy not to supply any materials or equipment to South Africa which would aid her nuclear programme. This policy is exercised through the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1985.
