HC Deb 29 October 1976 vol 918 cc392-3W
Mr. Critchley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for a replacement for the Nike anti-aircraft missile system in Germany.

Dr. Gilbert

The United Kingdom does not operate the Nike anti-aircraft missile system which is deployed in Germany by German, Dutch, Belgian and United States forces. The United Kingdom is participating in NATO studies for the replacement of medium-level surface-to-air missiles currently operative in Germany, including Nike.
