73. Mr.Bruce-Gardyne asked the Secretary of State for Defence what consultations he has had with the United States Government regarding the foreign 106W exchange cost to the United States Treasury of United States troops in Great Britain.
§ Mr. HealeyNone, recently. I suggested to the United States Government last January that expenditure by the United States forces in this country should be regarded, for balance of payments purposes, as generally offsetting the dollar cost to the United Kingdom of weapons already ordered, such as Polaris, the C 130 and the Phantom. They accepted this.
