HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c175W
Mr. James Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the further reports he has received from the United Kingdom observer in Nigeria, with particular regard to the effect of the war on the civilian population in the fighting zones.

Mr. Foley

The international observer team which is observing the conduct of Federal Nigerian troops has now produced a report on its activities during the period 24th September to 23rd November, 1968. Copies have been placed in the Library of the House. As before, the observers conclude that use of the word "genocide" in this war is unwarranted.
