British Forces, Germany (Support Costs)

HC Deb 27 January 1958 vol 581 c31W

122. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the negotiations with the Federal German Government on the question of payment for British forces in Germany.

Mr. Maudling

The matter of the local defence costs of the British forces in Germany is under consideration by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. It would be inappropriate to say more at present.
