HC Deb 20 March 1967 vol 743 c192W
81. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the value of the X-ray laser as a weapon in the 1970s.

Mr. Mason

We are co-operating with the United States in a research programme on lasers which includes their capability as weapons as well as defence against such weapons. I am not able to give the results of this work.
