HC Deb 07 February 1966 vol 724 cc11-2W
Mr. Jackson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the position with regard to the two inshore minesweepers which, as announced on 23rd November, 1962, are on loan to the Libyan Government.

Mr. George Thomas

Her Majesty's Government have decided to make a gift of these two vessels to the Libyan Government. Parliament will in due course be asked to vote their current estimated value of £206,000 by means of a Supplementary Estimate.
