§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give a detailed breakdown of his final £100 million economies.
§ Mr. HealeyAs I have indicated previously, measures have been identified by which these economies could be made by 1969–70, but it would be premature to give details.
§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the earliest date at which economies from Service manpower reductions will be reflected in the Estimates.
§ Mr. HealeyI would refer to my reply to the hon. Member for Salford, East (Mr. Frank Allaun) on 19th October in which I stated I was not at present prepared to give a forecast of the total future strength of the Services.—[Vol. 734, c. 208–10.]
