HC Deb 02 December 1955 vol 546 c257W
Mr. Usborne

asked the Minister of Defence the sum of money by which the Estimates can be reduced when his proposal for a reduction of 100,000 men is put into effect.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

When the reduction is complete, which will not be until 1958, the saving in maintenance costs thereafter will be about £43 million a year, at present price levels.
