§ 5. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Minister of Supply what is the cost of a guided missile.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThe cost depends on the type of weapon concerned and the number produced and can be anything from about £3,000 upwards.
§ Mr. HughesIs the Minister aware that in the United States they are given far more information about these things than in the Press of this country? Is he aware that the figure in the New York Times recently was £20,000 for a missile and not £3,000? Why did the right hon. Gentleman remember £3,000 and not £20,000?
§ Mr. JonesIf my Answer appeared vague to the hon. Gentleman, it was related to the Question, which was equally vague.
