HC Deb 21 March 1951 vol 485 cc277-8W
10. Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether he will publish so much of the agreement with the United States of America on the presence of units of the United States Strategic Bomber Command in the United Kingdom as relates to their location and employment should a state of war arise involving one country or the other.

Mr. A. Henderson

The stationing of units of the United States Strategic Air Command in this country is not governed by a formal agreement but by informal arrangements. It would not be in the public interest to give details of any arrangements for their location and employment in the event of war.

11. Viscount Hinchingbrooke

asked the Secretary of State for Air in what British territories other than the United Kingdom, units of the United States Strategic Bomber Command are now located; and what is their composition.

Mr. A. Henderson

There are no units of the United States Air Force located in British Colonial Territories.
