§ Mr. WinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what are the number of Nigerian military currently undertaking training in the United Kingdom; and what is the policy of the Government regarding further such training for Nigerian military officers and non-commissioned officers. [2259]
§ Mr. SoamesThere are no members of the Nigerian armed forces currently undertaking training in the United Kingdom.

Nigerian military personnel undertaking training in the United Kingdom at that time were asked to leave.
