HC Deb 18 February 1964 vol 689 c175W
54. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science why the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research sited the new radio-telescope in Hampshire.

Mr. Hogg

The site, on part of the disused air field at Chilbolton in Hampshire, was chosen because it fulfills several stringent technical requirements and is within a convenient working distance of the parent Radio Research Station at Slough.
