HC Deb 02 April 1958 vol 585 c1215
41. Mr. Stonehouse

asked the Minister of Defence what representatives Her Majesty's Government have on the Special Science Committee of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meeting in Paris; to what extent the hazards of radiation from the experimentation with nuclear weapons are being discussed; and with what results.

Mr. Sandys

The United Kingdom has one representative on this Committee. It has not discussed radiation hazards.

Mr. Stonehouse

Will this Special Science Committee be discussing the scientific limitations of tactical atomic arms, and will it have access to the results of the mock atomic war which the United States Seventh Army has just conducted?

Mr. Sandys

Perhaps the hon. Member would put that question on the Order Paper.
