HC Deb 11 February 1959 vol 599 c1165
13. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Minister of Defence to what extent he is being kept informed of United States progress with the design of an anti-missile missile.

Mr. Sandys

We and the Americans are collaborating very closely in this field.

Mr. de Freitas

Are our scientists working on this project in Florida, and is there adequate machinery for giving and receiving information and exchanging experience between our scientists and the Americans?

Mr. Sandys

Yes, Sir. Our people are going backwards and forwards, and so are theirs; there is the fullest ex-change of information between us on this difficult problem.
