HC Deb 15 April 1975 vol 890 c54W
35. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has on the number of ballistic missiles installed by the Soviet Union at Berbera, Somalia, and in other East African bases used by Soviet forces, which could affect the safety of British shipping routes.

Mr. Mason

I am aware that the Soviet Union is making use of certain facilities at Berbera, but the hon. Member will not expect me to elaborate in greater detail on matters of this nature.
