asked the Attorney-General if he will ensure that neither under the provisions of the Southern Rhodesia Act 1979 or by any other means any indemnity or amnesty will be given to any persons or organisations that have breached sanctions orders between 1965 and 1979.

I am not yet in a position to reach a decision whether any of my powers relating to prosecutions should be exercised. Any provision which is made under the powers conferred by the Southern Rhodesia Act 1979 is not a matter within my responsibilities.
