Dr. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the present whereabouts of, and degree of risk threatening, Dr. John Gower and six other Europeans he was seeking to evacuate from Biafra when they were last heard of.
§ Mr. WhitlockI regret that I have no recent information about Dr. John Gower. He was warned by Her Majesty's Consul, Buea, that the British Government had no representation in the region and no means of communication.
It is not possible to assess the degree of risk to which any United Kingdom citizen in the area may be exposed, though I have received no reports of any incidents in Ituk Mbang.
