HC Deb 16 December 1959 vol 615 c1441
42. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Secretary of State for Air what proposals he has for setting up rocket bases in the County of Cornwall.

Mr. W. J. Taylor

None, Sir.

Mr. Scott-Hopkins

Is the Minister aware that quite recently at a civil defence lecture it was stated that the reason for the increase in civil defence in Cornwall was because there were to be rocket sites in Cornwall? Will he ensure that there is close liaison with his right hon. Friend the Home Secretary regarding this matter which has caused a great deal of disquiet?

Mr. Taylor

I am aware of the statement to which my hon. Friend has referred, and I am looking into it.
