MR PETER WALKER (WORCESTER)

Mr Peter Walker:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the existing size of British forces in Hong Kong and the size of the reduction he contemplates as a result of his statement of 3 December.

ANSWER

At present the Hong Kong Garrison consists of five infantry

battalions, an artillery regiment, a squadron each of armoured

cars and engineers, a frigate and patrol boats, a squadron of

helicopters and appropriate support. I cannot comment on our

proposed reductions in advance of consultations with the Hong

Kong Government.
