HC Deb 10 March 1969 vol 779 cc214-5W
Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the total value of food and medical supplies sent to Nigeria by Her Majesty's Government since the outbreak of hostilities.

Mr. Foley

Her Majesty's Government has spent £44,050 on the purchase of food and medical supplies. This contribution takes no account of our expenditure on vehicles and other transport costs, nor of our general financial contribution to the International Committee of the Red Cross for Nigerian relief purposes. Her Majesty's Government has given nearly £1,000,000 to Nigerian relief so far.
