HC Deb 09 December 1957 vol 579 c103W
78. Mr. Warbey

asked the Minister of Defence to what extent it is now the policy of the Government to use nuclear weapons, of any or all types, in reply to an act of aggression committed with conventional arms; and whether this policy applies only to Europe or to other parts of the world.

Mr. Sandys

It would be wrong to define publicly in advance the circumstances in which these weapons would be used.
