HC Deb 16 June 1969 vol 785 c2W
21. Mr. Barnes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on his latest efforts to promote peace talks between Nigeria and Biafra.

Mr. Whitlock

We are constantly on the watch for an opportunity to help in any way we can to bring about peace talks. Our willingness to do this is known to both sides as well as to the Emperor of Ethiopia, whose efforts as Chairman of the Organisation of African Unity's Committee on Nigeria to promote a peaceful settlement have our full support.
