HC Deb 03 May 1965 vol 711 c119W
Mr. Philip Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many British troops are now in Malaysia.

Mr. Healey

As stated in the 1965 Statement on Defence Estimates our total defence manpower contribution in the Malaysian theatre including Gurkhas is over 50,000. It would not be in the public interest to break this figure down.
