HC Deb 23 February 1960 vol 618 c39W
73. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty when the agreement between Great Britain and the United States of America was made to base at ports in Great Britain American nuclear submarines each carrying sixteen 1,500 mile range polaris missiles with hydrogen bomb warheads; and whether he will now make a full statement.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

There is no such agreement. There have been exploratory discussions at staff level but these have been of an entirely routine nature in accordance with the normal procedure for discussing defence matters.
