Miss Quennell
asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what representations he has made to the Government of Pakistan to secure the release of the load of Christmas fare, ordered by the United Kingdom High Commission for its own consumption, which was seized by the Pakistan authorities on its arrival at Karachi as lawful prize.
Mr. Bottomley
I have no knowledge of any consignment of Christmas fare for the British High Commission in Pakistan being seized as prize by the Pakistan authorities.
I have, however, been informed of a consignment for the British Embassy in Katmandu which was delayed in Karachi. This has now been released and is being forwarded to Nepal.
