51. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister what information he gave to President Eisenhower concerning the increased danger to Great Britain as a result of this country becoming a base for the discharge of guided missiles with nuclear warheads with a range of 1,500 miles.

The Prime Minister

I reached agreement in principle with the President at Bermuda that in the interests of mutual defence and mutual economy, certain guided missiles will be made available by the United States for use by the British Forces. Detailed arrangements for putting this agreement into effect will be worked out between the two Governments. I am sure that the agreement is greatly in the interests not only of this country but of the whole free world.
