§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, in view of his failure to discuss a matter of traffic violations by Nigerian diplomats in Great Britain with General Gowon during his recent visit, he has raised the matter with the Nigerian High Commissioner; if so, then with what result; and, if not, whether he will now do so.
§ Lord BalnielAs I told my hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury (Sir J. Langford-Holt) on 4th July, we have written to the high commissioner twice during the last few months. We have also recently been in touch with him again in an effort to resolve this problem. The high commissioner has told us that he has personally instructed his staff to commute to and from the office by public transport. There are already indications that his co-operation in this matter has reduced the extent of the problem as far as his mission is concerned.—[Vol. 859, c.106.]
