§ Dr. John Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the £970,000 grant for emergency relief in the war in Nigeria is being spent in Biafra; and by what means and for what purposes it is being distributed.
§ Mr. Foley£970,000 has been spent or allocated for relief in Nigeria. £700,000 of this is in the form of a grant to the International Committee of the Red Cross towards the cost of its relief work on both sides in the civil war. As this contribution has not been earmarked for specific purposes no breakdown can be given. The remainder has been devoted to relief in the federal areas of Nigeria. Colonel Ojukwu has repeatedly refused to accept relief aid in the area under his control from the British Government.
