Mr. George
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will initiate an embargo on exports of oil to Uganda.
Mr. Rowlands
The Government have no powers to stop oil supplies to Uganda. We are in close touch with the two British oil companies which supply oil to Uganda through subsidiaries jointly owned with local interests. We understand that, for a number of technical reasons, their supply is currently running at substantially reduced levels.
