HC Deb 24 February 1960 vol 618 c55W
75. Mr. Lewis

asked the Minister of Defence on what basis he estimates that the German Democratic Republic has 27 line divisions; and whether these divisions are exactly the same in number of men and formations as British divisions.

Mr. Watkinson

I am not prepared to discuss the basis on which my estimates are formed, but I can say that these divisions are not exactly the same as British divisions.
