HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 c88W
82. Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the increase in troops for the defence of Kuwait and for the Persian Gulf; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Healey

I have nothing to add to the statement in "The Defence Review" (Cmnd. 2901), that we shall be making a small increase in our forces stationed in the Persian Gulf.
