75. Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether the V-Bomber force of the Royal Air Force is now armed with hydrogen bombs; and what is its state of readiness.

Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

The Command is in process of being equipped with bombs in the megaton range. As regards the second part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer my right hon. Friend gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Sunderland, South (Mr. P. Williams) last week.
