HC Deb 26 February 1976 vol 906 c285W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British subjects are stranded in Nigeria; and what steps he is taking to enable them to return to the United Kingdom.

Mr. Ennals

Following the recent abortive coup in Nigeria and the closing of the airports a number of British subjects were stranded. Now that the airports have reopened the situation is returning to normal.
