Minuteman Inter-Continental Missile

HC Deb 22 June 1960 vol 625 cc32-3W

Mr. Mason

asked the Minister of Defence what arrangements he has made for the purchase of the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Watkinson

The Minuteman is a large inter-continental missile with a very long range. We have no need for a missile of this type and have made no arrangements for its purchase.
