HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 cc111-2W
91. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether, in view of the fact that it has proved increasingly difficult to maintain law and order in Aden in recent months, he will speed up the withdrawal of the wives and children of Servicemen in order to save further loss of life.

Mr. Healey

Present plans are for the withdrawal of Service families between 1st May and 31st July, 1967. We are keeping a close watch on the internal security situation to see if these plans should be brought forward.
