§ 96. Mr. Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for War when the hon. Member for Clapham will receive a reply to his letter of 22nd January relating to lost civilian gear of certain Royal Army Ordnance Corps troops sent to Cyprus in November, 1956, and the question of compensation for this loss.
§ Mr. John HareI dealt with the points raised in the hon. Member's letter in answering his subsequent Question of 5th February. I have now heard that some of the missing kit has just arrived in this country. It is being sent to its owners as soon as possible. The question of compensation will only arise if any kit actually turns out to be lost.
