The film "The Day After" was the most
powerful argument for the Government's
defence policies, Mr Michael Heseltine
claimed tonight.
Speaking during a discussion broadcast
immediately after the film on ITV, the
Defence Secretary said it was "deeply
shocking"N
But nuclear weapons had produced a
situation where people had bcbcked
off", he saidN
In another generation many situations
could have escalated into war, he said.
Modern defence policies had kept the
peace.
