HC Deb 05 February 1969 vol 777 cc113-4W
Mr. Awdry

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what bearing the Ordfordness radar station will have on methods of early warning of missile attacks; and on which date he now anticipates the station will go operational.

Mr. John Morris

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my hon. Friend the then Under-Secretary of State for Defence for the Royal Air Force to the hon. and gallant Member for Eye (Sir H. Harrison) on 12th March, 1968, about the work of this radio station. I now expect that practical research will start during 1970.—[Vol. 760, c. 273.]
