HC Deb 19 February 1982 vol 18 c260W
Mr. Alton

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether there have been talks between Her Majesty's Government and the North Yemen authorities in connection with the secondment of British military advisers or serving officers to that country.

Mr. Hurd

Representatives of both the naval and military overseas assistance offices of the Ministry of Defence have had discussions with the Yemen Arab Republic authorities. We should naturally like to help the friendly Government of the Yemen Arab Republic in any sensible way, but no arrangements have been agreed for the secondment of British military advisers or serving officers.
