HC Deb 24 July 1963 vol 681 cc1433-4
6. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Air what are the financial conditions governing the tenure of the United States Air Force base at Prestwick.

Mr. H. Fraser

Her Majesty's Government recover the costs attributable to United States Air Force use of Prestwick in accordance with the usual arrangements governing the presence of this force in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Dempsey

I am sure that the right hon. Gentleman would not wish to mislead the House. Is he aware that there is another condition, whereby the commanding officer demands that an American Air Force person must have the sum of £100 before he is allowed to marry a bonny Scots lassie?

Mr. Speaker

That is out of order. I call Mr, Brockway.

Mr. Dempsey

On a point of order. Is it the bonny Scots lassie who is out of order, or the question, Mr. Speaker?

Mr. Speaker

The question is out of order, whether it relates to a bonny Scots lassie or anything else.
