§ 1. Mr. Wiggasked the Secretary of State for War on what date the two surface to surface guided weapon regiments at present under training will join the British Army of the Rhine.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for War (Mr. Julian Amery)The first regiment will move to B.A.O.R. in the autumn of this year. It is too soon to announce a date for the move of the second regiment.
§ Mr. WiggWould the hon. Gentleman be good enough to tell the House what the deployment on this date will be? Can we take it that those regiments will then have the capability of firing a warhead of approximately one ton of T.N.T. and that its nuclear capability will depend only upon the availability of atomic warheads as and when the American authorities care to make them available?
