UK - SOUTH AFRICA
London has reversed itself and announced on
Monday that it will complete consultations with Com-
monwealth countries and? South Africa before making
a final decision on resuming arms sales to Pretoria.
Foreign pressure, mainly from African countries, and
concern over the continuing dock strike were probably
the main reasons for the decision.
Prime Minister Heath will almost certainly
wait until the House of Commons reconvenes
in October to make a final announcement.,
By waiting, the government will avoid the
necessity of dealing simultaneously with
its domestic crisis and what would cer-
tainly have become a major diplomatic
storm.
