HC Deb 14 February 1968 vol 758 c353W
Rear-Admiral Morgan Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to be able to announce the cuts which are to be made in the transport force of the Royal Air Force.

Mr. Merlyn Rees:

This is part of the wider problem, now being tackled, of reshaping the services for their long term role after our withdrawal from the Far East and the Persian Gulf. I cannot forecast a definite date for the announcement of decisions.
