HC Deb 03 August 1966 vol 733 c106W
64. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans have been made, and what numbers are concerned, for the reduction of British forces in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation if satisfactory arrangements on support costs are not made.

76. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what proportion of the British troops in Germany are now to be brought home; and what plans he has for the housing of those with wives and families.

Mr. Healey

Until we receive the German reply to the approach made by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 21st July it is not possible to say what troops, if any, will have to be withdrawn, nor to make detailed plans; but certain contingency studies have been put in hand.
