HC Deb 18 July 1968 vol 768 cc275-6W
Mr. Kelley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will seek permission from the Nigerian Government for permission for Royal Air Force aircraft to overfly Nigerian territory for the purpose of parachuting food into areas where it is most needed.

Mr. Healey

Many different possibilities have been under consideration. My right hon. Friend the Commonwealth Secretary will be making a statement as soon as Lord Hunt's report has been received.
