99. Mr. Elwyn Jones

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the estimated cost of sending reservist No. 23031973 Sapper S. Woodward, 174 I.W.T. Squadron, Royal Engineers, to Cyprus and bringing him back again; for how many days he served; how soon after arriving in Cyprus he was sent to hospital; and how many days he spent in hospital before he was sent back to England.

Mr. Hare

This reservist remained in the Army for 112 days. He arrived in Cyprus on 28th September and was admitted to hospital 53 days later. He remained in hospital for three days before being sent back to this country. The approximate cost of sending him to Cyprus and back was about £47.
