§ 44. Mr. G. Brownasked the Minister of Defence whether he will have consultations with a view to changing the design of the hydrogen bomb carried in aeroplanes over Great Britain in view of the fact that the trinitrotoluol content of the hydrogen bomb which was accidentally released in the United States of America recently exploded on impact.
Mr. WardI have been asked to reply.
Every possible effort is made in designing all weapons to ensure the maximum safety. Care of course must be taken that these safety measures are not incompatible with operational requirements.
