HC Deb 24 February 1969 vol 778 c211W
91. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will stop the two separate shipments of arms and ammunition for Nigeria, each of approximately £300,000, which have recently been arranged, in order to reduce the scale of fighting there.

Mr. Foley

Without accepting my hon. Friend's description of the supplies in question, I am satisfied that a diminution in supplies from this country would not of itself lead to any reduction in the scale of the fighting.
