LORD BARNBY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they now can give any information as to the whereabouts of the British subject, Gerald Douglas Hawksworth, formerly employed as a surveyor in Rhodesia, who was kidnapped in early January, 1973, and is believed to be still alive and held somewhere in Tanzania.

THE MINISTER OF STATE, FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE (BARONESS TWEEDSMUIR OF BELHELVIE)

Her Majesty's Government are still very concerned about Mr. Hawks-worth. We are continuing our efforts to establish his whereabouts, but unfortunately we have not yet been able to discover in which country he is being held.
