§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation sources of how many troops of all nationalities there are stationed in Western Europe; and how many of these are British, how many American, how many French, and how many German.
§ Mr. HealeyInformation regarding the United Kingdom troops is contained in Annex G of the Statement on the Defence Estimates, 1967 [Cmnd. 3203]. Such information as I have from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation sources about the numbers of troops of other nationalities is confidential. I am not prepared, therefore, to add to what has appeared in nonofficial publications such as the Institute for Strategic Studies' "The Military Balance, 1966–67".
