HC Deb 23 May 1988 vol 134 c38W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if the upgraded ballistic missile early warning system radar at Fylingdales moor will give the United Kingdom more advanced warning of nuclear attack.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The purpose of the modernisation of the ballistic missile early warning system at RAF Fylingdales is not to improve warning time—Official Report, 22 May 1986, columns 263–64—although it may marginally do so.
