HC Deb 29 January 1958 vol 581 c68W
53. Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Defence if he will ascertain from the United States authorities how many flights over Great Britain have been made by United States aeroplanes based on British soil carrying hydrogen bombs; when such flights commenced; and to what extent they are still continuing.

Mr. Sandys

I set out the general principles governing such flights in a reply yesterday to the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Hale).

The publication of dates and numbers would, for military reasons, not be desirable.
