HC Deb 25 February 1955 vol 537 cc205-6W
Mr. Wyatt

asked the Minister of Defence what he anticipates will be the actual expenditure on defence for the financial year 1954–55 as compared to the official estimate in the Statement on Defence, 1954; and to what factors he ascribes the difference between the actual expenditure and the estimate.

Mr. H. Macmillan

I am not in a position to add to the information given in paragraph 55 of the Statement on Defence, 1955.
