§ Q1. Mr. Dribergasked the Prime Minister to what country the inhabitants of Christmas Island are to be transferred in preparation for the proposed atmospheric nuclear tests; what steps are being taken to find them suitable homes and occupations; and what methods of persuasion are being used in the case of those unwilling to leave Christmas Island.
§ The Prime Minister (Mr. Harold Macmillan)I am satisfied that the safety arrangements for the proposed nuclear tests are such that it will be unnecessary to transfer the residents of Christmas Island elsewhere.
