HC Deb 11 May 1983 vol 42 c329W
Mr. Douglas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether any part of the transport erector launches control centres and ancillary equipment for cruise missiles will be in United Kingdom ownership or control.

Mr. Blaker

The cruise missiles which are planned to be deployed in this country, and all the equipment required to maintain and operate them, will be owned by the United States. Use of the cruise missiles will at all times be governed by the understanding on joint decision making between the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States.
