HC Deb 27 January 1966 vol 723 c131W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the estimated monthly cost of the British military measures in connection with the Rhodesian crisis.

Mr. Millan

Exact figures are not available but we estimate that the military measures taken by all three Services involve extra running costs of about £150,000 a month. This excludes the cost of the R.A.F. Transport Command airlift of oil for civil purposes and of transporting oil for the Javelin force in Zambia. The cost of the latter is not separately indentifiable at this stage.
