§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Defence what claim is outstanding by the Government of Malta in respect of damage caused by war time RAF practice bombing; and what response is being made by Her Majesty's Government.
§ Sir Ian GilmourI have been asked to reply.
The Government of Malta have not made a claim in respect of damage caused by war time practice bombing by the Royal Air Force.
On the question of claims arising from the Royal Navy's former use of the gunnery range at Filfla I have nothing to add to the reply that I gave to the hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, Central (Mr. McNamara) on 5 March.—[Vol. 980, c. 223.]
