Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that I welcome his assurance and also the assurance that what he has just said will be confirmed tomorrow by the Leader of the House? May we have a further assurance that the project for a mixed-manned force, whether canvassed by the United States or advocated by the Secretary of State for Defence, will not meet with any commitment or decision during the Recess and until Parliament has had an opportunity of debating this subject?
