asked the Minister for Finance whether his Department or any of the institutions under his responsibility have, or have had, contact or dealings with the South African Government or South African financial institutions in the period 1982 to 1984; and, if so, if he will give details of those contacts and dealings.

Neither my Department nor any of the institutions under my responsibility have entered into any agreements with the Government of South Africa or with financial institutions in that country during the period in question.
