asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many thousands of metres of armoured cable were sold by the British Administration of Eritrea for 4.50 East African shillings per metre and 10 shillings per metre, respectively; and whether he will issue a statement containing a full account of all sales and demolitions of buildings and equipment in Eritrea.

Mr. Nutting

I regret that the information is not yet available but inquiries are being made and I shall write to the lion Member as soon as possible.

85. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what sums were received by the British Administration of Eritrea for the sale to firms in Jibuti and elsewhere of materials salvaged from buildings demolished in Assab.

Mr. Nutting

No such sales have been made by the British Administration in Eritrea to firms in Jibuti or elsewhere. Nor have any such demolitions been carried out.
