§ 105. Mr. Peakeasked the Minister of Defence the net expenditure of British troops overseas in each of the territories where they have been stationed during the calendar year of 1946.
§ Mr. AlexanderI understand that the right hon. Member requires information on the net cost of maintaining the three Services overseas during 1946, subdivided by countries. I regret that this is not immediately available. He will appreciate that the financial and accounting staffs in the Service Departments are very busy at the present time. The necessary details are, however, being assembled and I will send them to him as soon as possible.
