asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the Government's policy in relation to advertisements such as that which recently appeared in a national newspaper (details supplied) offering employment to a large variety of skilled people in South Africa.

The Government would wish all citizens to be fully aware of the situation in South Africa and of our attitude to it when considering offers of employment in that country. Nevertheless decisions in this regard are a matter for individuals concerned. While the Government do not favour efforts to promote emigration to South Africa, such as that referred to by the Deputy, they do not have power to prohibit advertisements such as that referred to, nor do they consider that it would be appropriate to seek such powers in the absence of binding international obligations in this regard.
