HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 c189W
146. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will make a statement on the conditions prevailing at Royal Air Force stations in Jordan.

Mr. Birch

With the exception of a small detachment at Akaba, R.A.F. forces in Jordan have been temporarily concentrated at Mafraq. There have been difficulties about maintaining regular supplies to Mafraq, but these have now been overcome. Conditions at Akaba have remained normal throughout.
