§ Mr. Eldon Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Defence why British troops were recently forbidden to use heavy weapons against terrorists in Aden; why British tanks and armoured vehicles have been withdrawn from Aden while British troops are still engaged there; and what steps he is taking to ensure that British lives are not further endangered by restrictions and delays imposed on British officers and men engaged on counter-terrorist duties.

§ Mr. HealeyI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to similar Questions on 29th June. The armoured vehicles now in Aden are adequate for the support of internal security operation there.—[Vol. 749, c.128.]
