HC Deb 12 July 1961 vol 644 cc386-7
32. Mr. Strachey

asked the Secretary of State for War what replacements are being sent to Kenya to replace the forces sent to Kuwait.

Mr. Profumo

Headquarters 19 Infantry Brigade Group, the 1st battalion the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, and certain administrative units.

Mr. Strachey

How much is left in the United Kingdom?

Mr. Profumo

That is a wholly different question and it is not one which I think any hon. Member would expect me to answer, let alone the right hon. Gentleman, who has been a Secretary of State for War; but if there is any suggestion in the right hon. Gentleman's question that the cupboard is bare, I can assure him that this is far from the case.
