HC Deb 03 August 1966 vol 733 c101W
48. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will now make a statement on the scale of the military withdrawal from Borneo following the ending of the confrontation with Indonesian forces; and what this will represent in financial savings.

Mr. Healey

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer I gave today to the hon. Member for St. Albans (Mr. Goodhew). It would be misleading to give a separate figure for the savings achieved by withdrawals from Borneo; the savings have to be assessed in a wider context.
