HC Deb 20 July 1967 vol 750 c310W
63. Mr. Alison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence to what extent since 20th July, 1966, overseas Government expenditure on defence has been reduced.

Mr. Healey

The object of the measures announced on 20th July, 1966, was to make savings during 1967–68 over the previous year. It is too early to give a figure for savings arising in the current year but I have every expectation of achieving the target announced in Chapter I of the Statement on the Defence Estimates.
