HC Deb 25 January 1949 vol 460 cc724-5
25. Mr. Pritt

asked the Secretary of State for War how many British troops are at present stationed in the Gold Coast Colony; to what extent it is proposed to increase the numbers in the near future; how many were stationed there 12 months ago; and what is the reason for the increase.

Mr. Shinwell

It is not the policy to give information about the number of troops stationed in a particular area.
