asked the Prime Minister if he will press in the United Nations for a total trade embargo, including an embargo on oil, on the former Government in Rhodesia; and what instructions have been given to the United Kingdom delegation on the extension of such an embargo to include both Portugal and South Africa.

I have nothing to add to my recent statements in the House, or to the Foreign Secretary's Speech to the Security Council on 17th November. I will arrange for the House to be kept informed of developments in the Security Council.
