Military Aid (Hansard, 25 January 1962)

§ Mr. Heath

The question of military aid to the Government of the Somali Republic has been the subject of detailed discussions with the Italian Government. A joint offer in respect of a first instalment of military aid has been made to the Somali authorities. The British share of this first instalment will amount to £150,000, of which Parliament will be asked to vote £50,000 as a Supplementary Estimate to cover anticipated costs in the current financial year.
