HC Deb 12 February 1959 vol 599 c247W
105. Mr. G. Brown

asked the Minister of Defence, whether he will make a statement on the proposal of the United States Government to make available to Great Britain all the information necessary for making an hydrogen-bomb rocket warhead of extreme power and small weight.

Mr. Sandys

Extensive information on nuclear weapon design has been exchanged between the American and British Governments under Article 2 of the Agreement for Co-operation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual Defence Purposes, signed in Washington on July 3rd, 1958, and presented to Parliament (Cmnd. 537). This information is, of course, of a highly secret character. I cannot, therefore, publish any particulars about it.
