§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Air how many Ghanaian troops, pounds of freight and pounds of mail have been transported by aircraft of Royal Air Force Transport Command from Accra to Leopoldville to enable a Ghanaian contingent to participate in the United Nations force since the emergency in the Congo began; and how many Royal Air Force aircraft have been used to dale on this airlift.
§ Mr. J. AmeryUp to 25th November, about 2,500 passengers, 300,000 lb. of freight and 6,000 lbs. of mail were moved from Ghana to the Congo. Thirteen different aircraft have been employed. Since the initial lift, not more than two aircraft have normally been employed at any one time.
§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the expulsion from the Congo of the entire 53W Ghanaian Embassy staff, he will prohibit any further use of aircraft of Royal Air Force Transport Command, now providing the airlift of reinforcements and supplies to Ghanaian troops in the Congo, in operations which might involve the Royal Air Force in a Congo conflict amongst African states.
§ Mr. J, AmeryMy information is that the entire staff of the Ghana Embassy in Leopoldville has not been expelled from the Congo.
