HC Deb 16 December 1959 vol 615 c179W
131. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Minister of Defence what facilities are being given to West German troops on British testing grounds and ranges; and why.

Mr. Watkinson

Equipment of interest to the German Federal Republic is being tested at the Fighting Vehicles Research and Development Establishment at Chobham. German service representatives have also attended various trials and demonstrations of United Kingdom equipment. This is in accordance with our policy of sharing defence facilities and resources with all members of the N.A.T.O. Alliance.
