Mr. Graham
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the breakdown of a nuclear convoy on the Erskine bridge on 18 May.
Mr. Archie Hamilton
A military convoy stopped near the Erskine bridge on 18 May while a defective tractor unit was inspected and replaced. At no time was there any danger to the public or convoy personnel. It is long-standing Government policy not to confirm or deny the presence of nuclear weapons at any particular place or time.
