§ 53. Mr. Goodhartasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he is prepared to increase the amount of aid sent to Nigeria following the report of Lord Hunt on his mission to Nigeria.
§ Mr. George ThomsonAs the House knows, we recently provided £250,000 for emergency relief in Nigeria, including the Ibo areas. Lord Hunt is expected to return from Nigeria at the weekend to complete his recommendations as to the most effective use that can be made of the money.
