§ Mr. HattersleyI assume that the hon. Gentleman is referring to joint exercises with the Kenyans. No such exercises have been held in Kenya recently, though we do hold British Army exercises there from time to time. Our forces have a continuing and extensive programme of140W exercises which includes joint exercises with certain other Commonwealth countries and also many arranged by international treaty organisations, particularly N.A.T.O.
