Mr. Cooper
asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the estimated total weekly cost of the Royal Air Force presence in Zambia; and who is meeting this cost.
Mr. Millan
Exact figures are not available, but we estimate that it costs about £20,000 more a week to maintain the R.A.F. units in Zambia than at their normal stations. No decision has been made on the ultimate responsibility for these costs.
