HC Deb 25 January 1957 vol 563 cc97-8W
Mr. Wigg

asked the Secretary of State for War when he proposes to present a Supplementary Estimate for the £80,000 cost of supplies and services provided for French forces recently engaged in Middle Eastern operations, in view of the fact that the application of this sum has not yet been authorised by Parliament; and how he proposes to set off the refund from the French Government.

Mr. Hare

An Army Supplementary Estimate, which includes provision for extra expenditure as a result of the Suez emergency, was presented on 22nd January. This takes account of supplies and services to the French forces and the consequential recoveries.
