HC Deb 05 December 1945 vol 416 cc2487-8W
Mr. Pickthorn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what has been done to provide Dutch troops for service in Java.

Mr. Bevin

His Majesty's Government, in close consultation with the Dutch Government, have provided facilities for equipping, training and despatching Dutch troops to the South-East Asia theatre. In view of current military operations it would not be in the public interest to make any statement about local troop movements.
