§ Mr. HughesCan it be assumed that the Government have no intention of adding to the already enormous cost, of more than £300 million, of the Polaris submarines, which are likely to be obsolete when they come into commission?
§ Mr. HefferCan my hon. Friend give a clear answer and say whether it is the intention of the Government to do this or not?
§ Mr. HefferWhat it says in the Question.
