HC Deb 19 January 1970 vol 794 c22W
81. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many United Kingdom aircraft formerly used for carrying arms to Nigeria have been given clearance by the Nigerian Government for the carrying of relief supplies.

Mr. Luard

On a few occasions arms purchased by the Nigerian Government in this country have been flown there in civil chartered aircraft. Two of these aircraft I understand are now also under charter for flying out relief supplies.
