HC Deb 07 February 1973 vol 850 c138W
Mr. McCrindle

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the continuing extent and nature of the British occupying force in Anguilla.

Mr. Kershaw

There is no British occupying force in Anguilla. The Royal Engineers left the island in September 1971, and the last of the Metropolitan Policemen departed in March 1972.
