HC Deb 12 February 1970 vol 795 c405W
Mr. Mackintosh

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what aid has been given to rehabilitate schools in the areas affected by the civil war in Nigeria

The extra sum is to be used towards the cost of books and equipment for rehabilitating schools in the war-affected areas which includes part of the Mid Western State.
