§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what problems have been encountered in the development of the new air-launched cruise missile; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the replacement system for our WE177 free-fall nuclear bomb. We are currently considering both French and United States options, but no decision has yet been taken. Accordingly the question of development does not yet arise.
