18. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what consultations he has had with representatives of Saudi Arabia and the Emirates concerning defence problems in that area; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer I gave earlier today. I will be visiting Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain next week at the invitation of their respective Governments to discuss matters of common interest with them.
