HC Deb 30 January 1964 vol 688 c75W
9. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will now withdraw all British Service personnel seconded to units of newly self-governing territories in Africa; and if he will limit future appointments to an advisory capacity only.

Mr. Sandys

It is already our policy to withdraw such British Service personnel as quickly as this can be done without undue detriment to the efficiency of the units in which they are serving; and, where requested, to replace them by advisory missions.
