§ 17. Mrs. Shirley Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what decisions have been made about financing the Javelin squadron and the Royal Air Force Régiment in Zambia; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BottomleyThe main costs of stationing these Royal Air Force units in Zambia will be borne by Her Majesty's Government. The question of a Zambian contribution towards local costs is under discussion between the two Governments.
§ Mrs. WilliamsMay I thank my right hon. Friend for that reply and welcome the satisfactory solution which has been reached on this problem?
