Mr. Canavan
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has any information about Scottish mercenaries operating in Rhodesia; and, if so, what action he intends to take to stop recruitment of such mercenaries in Scotland.
Mr. Rowlands
We have no information about Scottish mercenaries operating in, or being recruited for Rhodesia. Recruitment for employment in Rhodesia is an offence under existing United Kingdom legislation, and any case which came to our notice would be investigated accordingly.
