asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what installations and facilities belong to, or are used by, British Services and undertakings on the island of Sal and elsewhere in Caibo Verde; and what arrangements have been made with the new authorities for their continuance or otherwise.

The British Services do not have any installations on the Cape Verde Islands. Royal Navy ships and Royal Air Force aircraft have called at the islands only on rare occasions in recent years. As regards any future visits, application for diplomatic clearance will be made through normal channels. There will be no question of special arrangements.There have been no representations on behalf of the owners of any British undertakings in the islands.
