HC Deb 26 November 1952 vol 508 cc62-3W
117. Mr. Wyatt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will seek from the United States Government privileges and rights for British Service men, stationed in United States territory similar to those enjoyed by United States Service men in this country.

Mr. Nutting

When the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Status of Forces Agreement, which has been signed by both the United States and the United Kingdom, comes into force between the two countries, British Service men in the United States and United States Service men in this country will receive corresponding privileges and rights under that Agreement.

The only British Forces now in the United States are the Joint Services and Technical Missions. Certain members of these Missions already receive privileges under the Agreement on the Status of N.A.T.O. National Representatives and International Staff.
