§ Mr. Kilroy-Silkasked the Prime Minister if she will allow the Royal Air Force and Army famine relief force to stay and work in Ethiopia after their current tour of duty ends at the end of March.
§ The Prime MinisterThe Government will continue the RAF's operation after the end of March, if the Ethiopian authorities agree. I cannot say how long we shall stay, but we have told the Ethiopians that we would be prepared, in any case, to give one month's notice of any intention to withdraw. We need to assess changing estimates of the need for this operation and its usefulness, and the help other donors might give.
