HC Deb 08 February 1961 vol 634 c51W
15. Mr. Zilliacus

asked the Minister of Defence whether it is still the Government's policy, as laid down in paragraph 12 of the 1958 Defence White Paper, to resort to nuclear weapons first in case of a major attack with conventional arms on a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation ally.

Mr. Watkinson:

The paragraph referred to by the hon. Member describes N.A.T.O. strategy. This strategy has not been changed.
