HC Deb 05 July 1967 vol 749 cc251-2W
Mr. Francis Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what assurances he has given to the Government of Singapore regarding the continued presence of a British military base there; and what is the purpose of that base.

Mr. Healey

I have given no such assurances. The purpose of the base is to support British forces in the Far East.
