HC Deb 30 January 1967 vol 740 cc15-6W
Mr. J. Idwal Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he has any further information regarding the whereabouts of Miss Winnie Davies of Coedpoeth, Wrexham, last heard of in the Congo in July 1964; and what steps are being taken to establish contact with her and to secure her return home if she so desires.

Mr. William Rodgers

From information received by our Embassy at Kinshasa some three weeks ago, it appears that Miss Davies is held at Maganga between Kisangani and Bafwasende and is in good health. Congolese forces are active against the rebels in this area and we have kept our concern for Miss Davies' safety constantly before the Army authorities.

If Miss Davies wishes to return home on release, our Embassy will give her every assistance, but I understand that all arrangements have already been made by the Missionary Society which employs her.
