Mr George Chetwynd: In view of the withdrawal of certain troops recently, can the Minister now say how many are left in Kuwait?
Mr George Chetwynd: Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that the increase in the bounty will do the trick? Is it not more likely that it will just succeed in giving more money to the men who would have signed on in any case?
Mr George Chetwynd: Was it upon the advice of the hon. Gentleman's Department that the Minister of Transport took the lamentable decision not to proceed at the moment with any of the designs that we have already?
Mr George Chetwynd: If the hon. Gentleman cannot comment, will he at least release the Corporation from the obligation of having to run uneconomic services?

Mr George Chetwynd: Can the Secretary of State say how the fulfilment of this commitment has affected the deployment of our troops in Aden, Kenya, Cyprus and at home?
Mr George Chetwynd: asked the Secretary of State for War what arrangements have been made to relieve troops in Kuwait.
Mr George Chetwynd: Is the Secretary of State aware that I am not asking about the withdrawal of troops, but the relief of them on a rotational basis, as mentioned by the Minister of Defence yesterday? In view of the extremely difficult conditions under which our troops are operating in Kuwait, what is the maximum amount of time it is proposed to leave any individual there in an exposed position before relief?
Mr George Chetwynd: Even so, is the right hon. Gentleman aware that that represents a very small proportion when one bears in mind that the North-East Coast is the most important part of this country?
Mr George Chetwynd: Can the hon. Gentleman say whether any improvements will be made at the new terminal when it is ready? Will he look at the immigration procedure which sometimes causes a hold-up?
Mr George Chetwynd: asked the Minister of Aviation how much money he has received in rental for the site of the large whisky bottle advertisement at London Airport.
Mr George Chetwynd: The hon. Gentleman cannot shelter behind that Answer. Are we not entitled to know what his right hon. Friend has sold our birthright for? Is he not aware of the disgust expressed by arrival and departure passengers at London Airport at this monstrous vulgar advertisement? Finally, may I ask whether this is the thin end of the wedge? Are we to expect monstrous advertisements such as this...
Mr George Chetwynd: asked the Minister of Aviation what decision has been reached concerning the use of Blue Streak as a satellite launcher; and what replies have been received from West Germany and other European countries concerned.
Mr George Chetwynd: Can the hon. Gentleman say whether the other Governments concerned think that that amount of money over that period of time is adequate to start a worth-While space programme? Can he also say what steps will be taken to avoid any duplication of effort? Also, what is the future of Spadeadam and Woomera as a result of this?
Mr George Chetwynd: Have we had any private communication with the Arab League about this matter? If not, would the Minister consider getting in direct touch with the League to see whether we can find a way out?
Mr George Chetwynd: Is the right hon. and learned Gentleman able to give the figures of men and women concerned, in view of the great difficulty which women are having in getting university places?

Mr George Chetwynd: He is the chairman.
