Mr. Corbett
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will review his policy on Namibia of giving full support to the United States of America.

Mr. Rifkind
The United States is committed to the implementation of Security Council resolution 435, and we support its efforts to achieve this. United States influence is helpful in efforts to bring Namibia to internationally recognised independence.
