HC Deb 26 February 1969 vol 778 c315W
76. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will now consider publishing the long distance weather forecasts for a period of 14 days only instead of 30 days as hitherto.

Mr. Reynolds

No. 30 day forecasts have achieved a creditable standard of accuracy, and there is no reason to believe that 14 day forecasts would be substantially more accurate.
