HC Deb 22 November 1974 vol 881 c531W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether Admiral Sir Terence Lewin's statement on the Simonstown Agreement was made with his authority; and if he will publish its terms in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Judd

Admiral Lewin gave his professional assessment of the relative value of certain Simonstown facilities in peace time, in reply to questions during a Press briefing which dealt with other matters. The Admiral did not express a view on the value of the Simonstown Agreement as a whole. No official record is available of the discussion.
