§ Mrs. Maureen HicksTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans are being made for the return of British forces from the Gulf.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe withdrawal of British forces from the Gulf will continue progressively, following the return of the first personnel on 10 March. The precise timing of the return of units will depend on circumstances. During the next few weeks, some RN personnel, 7th Armoured Brigade group, and the bulk of RAF combat aircraft will return.
