HC Deb 22 June 1960 vol 625 cc40-1W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for War what are the Government's plans for sending the Royal Malta Artillery for a tour of duty to the Middle East or North Africa; and if their pay and allowances will be made equivalent to those of the British soldiers with whom they are serving.

Mr. Soames

There are no plans for a tour of duty in these areas, apart from the periodical training visits to North Africa which will continue at the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief.
