HC Deb 16 December 1965 vol 722 c333W
108. Mr. Cooper

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the estimated total weekly cost of the Royal Air Force presence in Zambia; and who is meeting this cost.

Mr. Millan

Exact figures are not available, but we estimate that it costs about £20,000 more a week to maintain the R.A.F. units in Zambia than at their normal stations. No decision has been made on the ultimate responsibility for these costs.
