§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) if he will list the units of Her Majesty's forces that have passed through South Africa on their way to neighbouring countries, naming the countries concerned, the purpose of the visit, and the date and length of stay in each case;
(2) further to the answer on 9 December, Official Report, columns 545–46, which neighbouring countries British service men have been en route for when they passed through South Africa.
§ Mr. StanleyIt is not our practice to give specific details of the military training we provide for foreign Governments or the units of the British service men involved. The length of training may vary from a few days to several years. Because of airline routeing considerations, British service men engaged in overseas training in countries such as Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland may pass through South Africa.
