This is an edited version of the original programme: Who has the ultimate control over American weapons on British soil? Mrs Thatcher says she has — saying she could have vetoed the use of’ the F111’s to bomb Libya — but her critics say that in any real emergency, America would act without consulting Britain. To find the answer, TV EYE reveals unpublished details of the agreements between the two governments which control the use of’ American bases.
