§ Dr. Glynasked the Secretary of State for Defence, in view of recent events, if he will, at the earliest opportunity, replace all key civilian personnel involved in the operational support of the Polaris fleet by Service men or women so as not to impair the operational efficiency of the nuclear deterrent.
§ Mr. MulleyNo. As I stated in my reply to the hon. Member for Hastings (Mr. Warren) on 28th July 1978, I am satisfied that the operational efficiency of our contribution to NATO's strategic nuclear force remains unimpaired.
