Lifting Of South African Voluntary Sanctions

EDM number 595 in 1989-90, proposed by Giles Shaw on 21/02/1990.

That this House, united in its wish to see a speedy end to the abhorrent system of apartheid, welcomes the advances towards democracy made by President De Klerk of South Africa, in particular, the release of Nelson Mandela; considers that such advances, although insufficient in themselves, merit encouragement and support; and therefore welcomes the decision taken by Her Majesty's Government, after consultation with its European partners, to relax the system of voluntary sanctions.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
