HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 c88W
81. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he has yet reached agreement with the Government of Hong Kong on the number of battalions of troops they wish to retain; and how much they are prepared to pay Her Majesty's Government for them.

Mr. Healey

The discussions in Hong Kong have centred on the question of Hong Kong's contribution to defence costs; a statement on this will be made as soon as possible.
