HC Deb 08 December 1993 vol 234 c294W
Sir Paul Beresford

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what announcements he has to make about nuclear tests following the United States Government's anouncement on 7 December.

Mr. Aitken

The United Kingdom has carried out no secret nuclear tests. However, a British nuclear test at the Nevada test site on 25 September 1964 did not proceed as planned and did not produce a nuclear yield. For this reason it has not been included in lists of nuclear tests carried out by the United Kingdom.
