§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what has been the total cost to date of maintaining British troops in British Guiana to support the government of Dr. Cheddi Jagan; and for how much longer it is intended to continue this support.
§ Mr. SandysOur troops are in British Guiana to help preserve law and order. The extra cost of maintaining them in British Guiana, from the date of their arrival in February, 1962, to the end of the financial year 1962–63, was about £110,000. The troops will remain there so long as the need for them persists.
