asked the Secretary of State for Air to what extent South African parachutists are being trained in the United Kingdom; for how long such training has been going on; and for how long it is expected to continue.

Mr. J. Amery

As my predecessor stated in answer to the hon. Member for Huddersfield, West (Mr. Wade) on 26th October, 4 officers and 11 N.C.Os. of the South African Army and Air Force are being trained at the Royal Air Force Parachute School at Abingdon. This training began in October this year and will finish at the end of the year.
