79. Mr. Benn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why he authorised the supply of Royal Air Force helicopters to the French Government for use in Algeria; and if he will make a statement.

It is the policy of Her Majesty's Government to supply, within the limits imposed by our own requirements and production, such items of military equipment as the French Government may request.
