The statement I have made is entirely authoritative, and I have no objection to discussion of it in this House or in the Press. All that we have suggested is that, in addition to considering the mixed-manning of surface ships to which a great deal of attention is being paid, it would be sensible to consider the possibility of mixed-manning some of the weapon systems that people were going to buy anyway, and this may achieve their political objectives much cheaper than any other method.
