HC Deb 12 March 1946 vol 420 c192W
121 .Mr. H. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for War the daily cost of maintaining troops in Java; and the number of men killed, wounded and sick, respectively.

Mr. Lawson

The daily cost of maintaining the present garrison in Java is, very roughly, £35,000. I gave certain figures for killed and wounded in Indonesia in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Kirkdale (Mr. Keenan) yesterday, but I have at present no separate figures for the number of sick in Java.
