§ 49. Mr. F. M. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations and the Colonies, what defence help has now been offered by Great Britain to Malaysia to help her withstand the present threats to her sovereignty by Indonesian guerilla bands.
§ Mr. SandysOn 18th July last year I gave the House details of our programme of defence aid (totalling some £20 million in the three years 1963–65). In addition to this, as my hon. Friend will know, our armed forces continue to be actively engaged at Malaysia's request, in contributing to the defence of Malaysian Borneo against Indonesian incursions. We shall continue to give Malaysia this help as long as she needs it.
