§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the British Isles have more nuclear targets per square mile than any other country.
§ The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Viscount Trenchard)We have no way of knowing what targets the Soviet Union would choose to attack in the unlikely event that they launched nuclear strikes against the United Kingdom. Certainly there are a number of sites in this country, as in ether NATO countries, which could theoretically, because of their political, strategic, or industrial importance, become targets if a war did ever break out.
House adjourned at one minute past eleven o'clock.
