After talks with U S defence officials Britain will acquire Polaris submarines from the United States at an estimated cost of 312 million pounds. Britain will supply its own nuclear warheads while Skybolt is discarded and Britain seeks to close the deterrent gap before 1970. Sir Arthur Harvey, Conservative defence committee chair, argues Skybolt was technically sound and plans to offer suggestions to the Defence Ministry.
