HC Deb 29 April 1968 vol 763 c107W
49 and 51. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Technology (1) if, in the light of recent decisions on the European Launcher Development Organisation, he will make a statement on the future of Woomera;

(2) if he will make a statement on the future of Woomera, in the light of his decisions on the European Launcher Development Organisation.

Mr. Benn

Recent decisions are not likely to affect the future of Woomera, as the present E.L.D.O. programme to which the United Kingdom remains committed already provides for firings after about 1970 to be made from the near-equatorial site in French Guiana.
