HC Deb 15 November 1960 vol 630 c24W
62. Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Her Majesty's Government will, either unilaterally or in consultation with the Government of the United States of America, invite the West German Government to discuss the question of defence support costs.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

As was stated by my hon. Friend the Financial Secretary on 10th November, there has been no discussion of the specific matter of support costs. I have, however, referred to the need for countries running balance of payments surpluses to help in correcting the imbalance of world payments by various measures.
