Captain Grahamasked the Secretary of State for War whether in view of the dependence of the three defence services in time of war upon the oil wells, machinery reservoirs, and anciliary labour of Trinidad, he is satisfied with the existing provision in that island of both anti-aircraft and general security defences; and whether he will consider if some further provision is urgently necessary?
§ Mr. Hore-Belisha:The defences of all British possessions overseas including the island mentioned in the question are kept constantly under review by the appropriate sub-committees of the Committee of Imperial Defence, on which all three Services are represented.
