HC Deb 08 April 1959 vol 603 c23W
Captain Kerby

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will estimate the value of British installations and equipment surrendered to Iraq upon the evacuation of the Royal Air Force staging post at Habbaniyah, following Iraq's renunciation of the Bagdad Pact.

Mr. Neave

No installations or equipment have been surrendered to Iraq as a result of the withdrawal of the Royal Air Force from Habbaniyah. Arrangements are being made with the Iraqi Government for the removal of equipment needed by the R.A.F. and for the local disposal of other assets.
