HC Deb 30 January 1963 vol 670 c181W
8 and 9. Mr. Anthony Greenwood

asked the Minister of Defence (1) whether he will give figures for all missile and stand-off bomb tests which have now been conducted by Her Majesty's Government;

(2) to what extent it is the practice of Her Majesty's Government to issue reports of all missile launchings for both military and peaceful purposes, whether success or unsuccessful.

Mr. Thorneycroft

It is not normal practice to issue reports of missile launchings whether for civil or military purposes, and I am not prepared to give the figures requested.
