HC Deb 14 February 1962 vol 653 c163W
97. Mr. Kelley

asked the Minister of Defence if he will give an assurance that no nuclear bases will be established in Cyprus without the full approval of the Cypriot Government.

Mr. Watkinson

For some years we have based in Cyprus, in support of CENTC), bomber aircraft which are capable of delivering nuclear weapons. The aircraft are deployed in one of the Sovereign Base Areas and no question of seeking approval arises.
