§ 21. Mr. Flanneryasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many representations opposing the siting of cruise missiles in the United Kingdom he has received since 16 November.
§ Mr. BlakerSince 16 November the Department has received 15 representations concerning cruise missiles.
§ 28. Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will take steps to require that cruise missiles stationed in the United Kingdom should be subject to British physical control.
§ Mr. BlakerThe use of the cruise missile bases in an emergency would be a matter for joint decision by the British and American Governments in precisely the same way as the use of other United States bases in this country. We are entirely satisfied with these arrangements, which have been in force for over 30 years and supported by successive Governments.
