asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) whether any small-arms are included in the shipment of arms to Zambia; and, if so, of what type and quantity;(2) whether he will publish a full list of types and quantities of armaments being supplied to Zambia as outlined in his statement of 2nd November.

My right hon. Friend has nothing to add to his statement in the House on 2nd November—[Vol. 957, c. 186–7.]

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the cost of British arms so far despatched or promised to Zambia; approximately how many persons are required to man the anti-aircraft equipment included; what proportion of these crews is British subjects; and if any charge to public funds will arise in the event of any of them being killed or injured.

On the cost and other details of the equipment, my right hon. Friend has nothing to add to his statement in the House on 2nd November—[Vol. 957, c. 186–7.] No British Service personnel will be stationed in Zambia. The manning of the equipment is a matter for the Zambian Government, and no British financial or other responsibility is involved.
