§ 148. Mr. Austinasked the Secretary of State for War what is the total cost incurred to the most convenient date, of expenditure on British Forces in Greece since the German evacuation; what our current commitments are in terms of monthly costs; and what further commitments are anticipated for the remainder of 1946 and the year 1947.
§ Mr. John FreemanThe total cost of the pay and family allowances of British Forces in Greece from the time of the German evacuation up to 30th September, 1946, is very approximately £16 million. At present, pay and family allowances are costing about half a million pounds a month. I cannot give any accurate information with regard to future costs.
