§ 67. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Defence if there is to be the same increase of approximately £100 million a year in arms expenditure in this spring's arms estimates as there has been in each of the previous six years; and if he will cut the arms budget from £2,120 million to £2,000 million this spring.
§ Mr. MillanI would ask my hon. Friend to await the Defence Estimates222W for 1966–67, which are due to be published shortly. I can assure him that the figure will be substantially less than it would have been under the plans of the previous Administration.
