HC Deb 04 May 1949 vol 464 c62W
Mr. Piratin

asked the Minister of Defence what has been the cost of maintaining British troops and missions in Greece since 1944.

Mr. Alexander

The cost to British public funds of maintaining the Military Mission in Greece, including the Naval and Air Force elements from 1944 up to the end of March, 1949, was about £3,160,000. For the same period the Police Mission cost about £283,000. It would be contrary to public policy to disclose similar information regarding British troops.
