HC Deb 20 May 1954 vol 527 c2288
45. Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Prime Minister if he can now state when, and how, this country lost the right to veto the use of the atomic bomb by the United States of America.

The Prime Minister (Sir Winston Churchill)

I do not wish to add today to what I have already said on this subject.

Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

Is it not in the public interest that they should be told the whole truth of this matter? Is there any way of proving to the people of this country that the right to veto the use of the atomic bomb by the United States was sold by the Leader of the Opposition?

Mr. Lewis

On a point of order. I could not hear that Question. May I ask, Mr. Speaker, whether the hon. and gallant Gentleman would repeat it.
