Indeed I will. You have brought me to order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and I shall certainly accede to your instruction.

I hope that Britain, as one of the leading countries of what was the British Commonwealth and is now simply the Commonwealth, will seek to play its part in ensuring the success of this fledgling country. Namibia has only 1·4 million people, but, as a member of the Commonwealth, it can take advantage of the immense wealth of good will and experience that is comprised in and can be obtained from the Commonwealth. I wish Namibia well. I wish its Government and its Opposition parties well. I hope that the country can set the example for the rest of Africa. I know that President de Klerk is doing his best in the Republic, but if there is success in African democracy—for that is what is important—there can be peace in that continent and Namibia can set the pace of reform and progress in the whole of southern Africa.
