HC Deb 25 June 1969 vol 785 c269W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what reassessment he has made of the potential threat to the Fleet by Russian long-range surface-to-surface missiles; and what steps he is taking to give adequate protection to the Fleet.

Dr. David Owen

Potential threats to the Fleet are kept continually under review. As regards long range surface-to surface missiles, I am satisfied that an effective defence is being provided.
