— LONDON (Reuters) - Britain gave the green light on Wednesday to the United States' planned missile defense shield, saying it would allow it to use a key radar base in northern England.

The United States asked Britain in December to approve the upgrading of early warning radar systems at Fylingdales to allow the American missile defense program to go ahead.

"I have ... come to the preliminary conclusion that the answer to the U.S. request must be 'yes' and that we should agree to the upgrade proposed," Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon told parliament.
