§ Mr. Sheldonasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish in the next Defence Review estimates of expenditure on military defence, other than expenditure on the Defence Budget.
§ Mr. HealeyThis information will be published as usual, in the Defence Estimates and the Statement on the Defence Estimates. Reference will be made in the former to the token vote for the purchase of United States aircraft and the remaining expenditure will be summarised in an Annex to the latter.
§ Mr. Sheldonasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will include expenditure on military defence other than expenditure on the defence budget within the defence budget.
§ Mr. HealeyIt would not be appropriate to include this expenditure in the Defence Budget since it is not part of the substantive cost of the Defence programmes which fall directly under my responsibility.
