HC Deb 08 July 1970 vol 803 c69W
Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the rôle of the British nuclear deterrent in the Government's defence policy East of Suez.

Lord Balniel

British nuclear forces have a world-wide capability but it would not be in the public interest and it has never been the practice to say where they are deployed or to speculate on how they might be used.
