HC Deb 23 January 1973 vol 849 cc145-6W
Mr. Fletcher-Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the help Her Majesty's Government is giving police forces in Thailand.

Mr. Anthony Royle

In addition to a number of scholarships for training under technical assistance arrangements, Her Majesty's Government have agreed to provide communications equipment for the Royal Thai Border Patrol Police. This will include the services of two experts. Parliament will be asked to approve the necessary Supplementary Estimate in due course. In the meantime, an advance will if necessary be sought from the Contingencies Fund.
