HC Deb 27 January 1958 vol 581 c25W
117. Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether, in view of the concern in Scotland about the establishment of ballistic-missile sites in Scotland, he will consult with the Minister for Welsh Affairs with a view to their construction in Wales in areas afflicted with unemployment.

Mr. Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether a decision has yet been reached to establish rocket sites in the County of Northumberland.

Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

As was explained by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Defence in reply to a Question from the hon. Member for Fife, West (Mr. Hamilton) on 22nd January, the location of rocket sites must be determined in accordance with operational considerations. No decisions have yet been taken.
