HC Deb 28 May 1946 vol 423 cc175-6W
112. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for War how many Netherlands troops are now being trained in Britain and other parts of the Empire with a view to being sent to Indonesia; and who is paying for their training and support.

Mr. Lawson

Some 3,850 Netherlands troops are at present under training in this country. The whole cost of training and maintenance of these troops now being provided from British sources is recoverable from the Dutch authorities.
