HC Deb 13 December 1967 vol 756 c127W
57. Mr. Colin Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects the withdrawal of the British Army from Libya to be completed.

Mr. Boyden:

As a result of discussions between Her Majesty's Government and the Libyan Government all Army units except for the British Military Mission will have been withdrawn from Benghazi by February, 1968. Thereafter the timing of any further withdrawals is a matter for discussion between Her Majesty's Government and the Libyan Government.
