HC Deb 22 December 1954 vol 535 cc2752-3
35. Mr. Palmer

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he will arrange for an inquiry into the possible effects of atomic explosions on weather conditions.

Mr. Ward

The World Meteorological Organisation is collecting all available information on this subject and plan to publish a report.

Mr. Palmer

Whilst welcoming that reply, may I ask if the hon. Gentleman realises that such an inquiry would have at least the negligible advantage of absolving the present Government from blame?
