HC Deb 14 October 1968 vol 770 c49W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state his plans for study of the recent successful Russian flight to the moon and back and its bearing on British science.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The recent impressive flight of Zond 5 does not call for special study of its scientific aspects because results of space science experiments are published and become available internationally. British space scientists will of course be interested in, and take account of, relevant aspects of scientific results of Zond 5 when these are published.
