HC Deb 11 July 1956 vol 556 c30W
73. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Defence the nature of the economies of £6 million which have recently been made in the cost of the British forces in Germany; and to what extent they result from the reduction of the strength of these forces.

Sir W. Monckton

The economy measures we have recently decided upon in Germany have been brought about by changes in the organisation and administration of the forces and do not result from any reduction in their effective strength.
