§ 17. Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Defence what amount he expects to spend on the public relations campaign justifying nuclear weapons; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NottWe do not allocate specific sums of money within the overall Ministry of Defence public relations expenditure to cover nuclear weapons exclusively. Nor would it be appropriate to do so since the NATO strategy of flexible response involves both conventional and nuclear capabilities.
