HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 c108W
105. Mr. G. Campbell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which units have been earmarked to provide logistic support for six battalions of the United Nations forces, constituting the voluntary contribution offered by Her Majesty's Government to the United Nations.

Mr. Boyden

The general nature of our offer was announced to the House by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 23rd February, 1965. Units of the Regular Forces are not specifically earmarked for this task but would be selected as necessary at the time. In the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve we have earmarked a special category of units with a total establishment of about 1,609 which could be called upon for the Army's share of the task.—[Vol. 707, c. 235.]
