§ Lord Brockwayasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they endorse the proposal that the Commonwealth should provide officer training for the new Uganda army, as supported by Kenya, Nigeria and India; and whether they will supply a limited interim team while the Commonwealth mission is organised.
§ Lord CarringtonWe know of no such proposal. But a request for military training was made to my honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State when he visited Uganda in February. A military appraisal of Uganda's training requirements has since been completed. This is being studied and the implications of assistance from the United Kingdom assessed.
