§ Mr. Brockwayasked the Minister of Defence what were the estimated contributions from United States aid and German support costs for 1956–57, respectively; and by what amounts, respectively, these estimates were not reached.
§ Mr. SandysThe estimated contributions from U.S. aid and German support costs in 1956–57 shown in the Statement on Defence 1956 (Cmd. 9691) were £50 million in each case. U.S. aid has fallen short by some £30 million but, for the reasons explained in the reply I gave the hon. Member yesterday, receipts from the Federal German Republic will roughly equal the estimate.
