HC Deb 13 December 1967 vol 756 c140W
95. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which ports and airfields in Africa are now freely available to Her Majesty's ships and aircraft in peace and war; and under what treaties or other agreements.

Mr. Mason:

Various conditions attach to the use of ports and airfields in Africa by Her Majesty's ships and aircraft. The Treaty of Friendship and Alliance with Libya (1953) and the Exchange of Letters on Defence Matters with South Africa (1955) are two relevant agreements.
