HC Deb 28 November 1960 vol 631 c15W
66. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Defence whether to enable him to reach an earlier decision as to whether, and when, a Polaris-type submarine will be required, as opposed to a Dreadnought-type submarine, he will ensure that plans and drawings are prepared without delay.

Mr. Watkinson

From the close contacts between the Royal Navy and the U.S. Navy we are obtaining full information about the Polaris-type submarine. We have no need to make detailed plans and drawings in order to decide whether this type of submarine will be required.
