§ 2. Mr. Mellishasked the Secretary of State for War if he is satisfied that he has a sufficient supply of nuclear warheads for missiles to be used by the Army in the field; and how many of these warheads are of British and how many of United States manufacture.
§ Mr. SoamesYes, Sir. There are sufficient stocks, but it would not be in the public interest to give details.
§ Mr. MellishCan we be certain of that? Since we are supposed to be manufacturing the great deterrent, the H-bomb, do we have enough material to enable us to manufacture these warheads as well?
§ Mr. SoamesThe Question is whether we have a sufficient supply of nuclear warheads for missiles to be used by the Army in the field. The answer is, "Yes."
