§ 15. Mr. Mikardoasked the Minister of Defence what consultations he has had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department to ensure that missile bases are not sited in areas designed to receive women and children evacuated from British cities.
§ Mr. SandysAll the normal consultations took place between the Departments concerned.
§ Mr. MikardoIs the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that there is a complete separation of missile base sites and areas of evacuation? If the right hon.
