§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Aviation on what date the production order for Blue Steel, Mark I, was placed.
§ Mr. SandysThe first order for the production of a substantial batch for trials was placed in December, 1955. A further order will be placed shortly.
§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Aviation if he will give directions for the renaming of the self-propelled 62W hydrogen bomb, at present undergoing its acceptance trials, and commonly referred to as Blue Steel, so as to avoid confusion with the abandoned Blue Streak rocket and other ventures.
§ Mr. SandysNo. To change the name at this stage would in itself cause confusion.
