§ Mr. Roy Masonasked the Minister of Defence if he will now give an estimate of the total cost of the development of Blue Steel; what consideration has been given to the further development of Blue Steel, especially regarding a longer range; what would be the estimated development cost; and whether the present Vulcan bomber force would be able to carry and deliver it, bearing in mind that greater range and accuracy will require heavier and longer weapons.
§ Mr. ThorneycroftThe answer to the first part of the Question is about £60 million. For the rest, perhaps the hon. Member would await the debate arranged for next week.
