HC Deb 31 May 1967 vol 747 cc95-6
61. Mr. Lipton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will abolish the charges of £9 or more a day payable by British civilian in-patients of the Royal Air Force Hospital in Aden.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Lipton

May I express the thanks of all sensible people to the Government for having dealt with what was an intolerable imposition on British civilians in Aden in the present difficulties that prevail?

Several Hon. Members rose

Mr. Speaker

Order. I understand that the President of the Board of Trade wishes to answer Question No. 75.
