HC Deb 08 December 1964 vol 703 c180W
73. Mr. Goodhew

asked the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs what was the outcome of the representations made by Her Majesty's Government for the use of Belgian paratroops to release British subjects held as hostages by the Congolese rebels at Watsa.

Mr. George Thomson

No such representations were made. We have no firm evidence that any British subjects are detained at Watsa.
