HC Deb 06 April 1970 vol 799 c3W
35. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will meet the Nigerian High Commissioner to discuss further the problem of the United Kingdom contribution of relief supplies and the discrimination against British journalists in the area formerly known as Biafra.

Mr. Foley

We are in constant touch with the Nigerian Government through the normal diplomatic channels and proposals for further assistance for relief and rehabilitation from the United Kingdom are under discussion. The control of visitors to the East Central State of Nigeria is entirely a matter for the Nigerian Government. I have seen no evidence that there is discrimination against British as opposed to foreign journalists.
