§ Mr. Norman Atkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the number of nuclear warheads now known to be in existence in the world; and what arrangements have been agreed with the United States of America for the destruction of the weapons to be withdrawn from service.
§ Mr. PymNone of the nuclear weapon States discloses the total number of warheads it holds; this information is, therefore, not available. The disposal of the United States nuclear warheads that are to be withdrawn from Europe is a matter for the United States Government.
