HC Deb 18 April 1967 vol 745 c69W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what financial benefit is being received by the people of Malta and Singapore, respectively, per head of the population per year, from the British military presence in each area.

Mr. Healey

Local defence expenditure is running at about £12.5 million a year in Malta, and £60 million in Singapore. It would not be meaningful to convert these figures into expenditure per head of population.
