HC Deb 09 November 1960 vol 629 c51W
64. Mr. Brockway

asked the Minister of Defence what facilities are to be provided in Scottish ports for tendering United States Polaris submarines.

Mr. Watkinson

The facilities to be provided are moorings in the Holy Loch itself, some logistic support and liaison arrangements with the Royal Navy, and the provision of land and buildings on a very limited scale.

74. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Defence to what extent the decision to establish the Polaris base at Holy Loch will increase defence expenditure.

Mr. Watkinson

If any costs fall on the United Kingdom they are likely to be very small.
