HC Deb 11 May 1967 vol 746 c271W
44. Mr. Sandys

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what financial assistance, training and equipment, beyond strict treaty obligations, he proposes to give to those States which remain outside the Federation, in order to enable them to protect themselves against external attack after independence, in the event of it proving impossible to create an enlarged state of South Arabia embracing all the States of the Aden Protectorate.

Mr. George Thomson

None. The policy of Her Majesty's Government is to work for the formation of a single South Arabian State on independence and to give financial assistance to that State alone.
