§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will specify individual capital and running costs separately included in the £1,600 million total given for the costs of recapturing the Falklands and for maintaining a garrison there till 1986; and what the cost will be of maintaining a garrison there for the six months up to April 1983.
§ Mr. BlakerI refer the hon. Gentleman to the answer I gave on 28 October.—[Vol. 29, c.473-74.] No allowance for a future garrison is included, since its final size has yet to be decided.
