HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 c69W
Mr. Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Air why he is maintaining part of the V-bomber force on continuous patrol in view of the fact that V-bombers do not carry hydrogen bombs in round-the-clock patrols.

Mr. H. Fraser

No continuous airborne patrol is undertaken by the V-bomber force.

Mr. Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he proposes to load hydrogen bombs into continuously airborne V-bombers by temporarily returning the planes to a base for loading.

Mr. H. Fraser

No.
