§ 64. Mr. G. Campbellasked the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs what are Her Majesty's Government's proposals regarding the use of United Kingdom troops for United Nations peace-keeping operations outside Commonwealth and Colonial territories; to what extent the United Kingdom contribution will be limited to logistic support, such as supplies and administration; and what offer Her Majesty's Government have made to the United Nations.
§ Mr. George ThomsonAs I informed the House on 7th December, we are studying closely ways in which we could assist with United Nations peace-keeping operations, especially on the logistic side. No definite offer has yet been made but we should, of course, be ready to consider what contribution we could make to any given operation, wherever it might occur. No distinction is made between the use of our troops, if called for, in Commonwealth or Colonial Territories and their use elsewhere.
