§ 22. Mr. de Freitasasked the Minister of Supply what surface-to-surface missiles are being developed for the Royal Air Force; and which of them use solid fuel.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesNo solid fuel surface-to-surface weapon is being developed for the Royal Air Force.
§ Mr. de FreitasDoes this mean that it is the intention to rely entirely on American solid fuel missiles?
§ Mr. JonesNo, Sir. Research is being undertaken, as I have told the hon. Member before, into propulsion by means of solid fuels, but as yet no ground-to-ground weapon incorporating solid fuel techniques has been decided upon.
