asked the Minister of Defence what estimate he has made of the annual expenditure which Her Majesty's Government will have to meet on the ratification of the London Treaty.

I should be grateful if the hon. Member would await the statement which I propose to make to the House tomorrow on the financial implications of the recent London and Paris Agreements.

asked the Minister of Defence his estimate of the number of National Service men that will be required for the military commitments under the London Treaty.

Our undertaking in the Final Act of the London Nine-Power Conference neither increases nor diminishes the size of our Forces now on the Continent of Europe nor consequently the National Service manpower required for them.
