HC Deb 09 December 1952 vol 509 cc22-3W
68. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War to what location the former British garrison in Bermuda has now been transferred; and what financial aid is now being made by Her Majesty's Government to the defence of the Colony.

Mr. Head

The withdrawal of the British garrison will not be completed until 1st May next year. It will not be transferred elsewhere as a unit, but the men released will be absorbed into existing units. No financial aid towards the defence of Bermuda will be made.
