HC Deb 26 July 1955 vol 544 cc989-90
50. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Prime Minister with which foreign Power he has now reached agreement for the British hydrogen bomb to be exploded on their territory; and whether he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I have no statement to make.

Mr. Thomas

In view of the fact, as everyone knows, that no one would be foolish enough to want to test this bomb on our soil, can the Prime Minister hold out a hope that he will get a foreign Power to agree that this hydrogen bomb shall be tested within their domain?

The Prime Minister

The hon. Gentleman's ingenious hypothesis will not draw any response from me on this topic.
