LONDON (AP) — Britain's opposition Conservative Party declared its support Friday for a U.S. missile shield program which has been backed by President-elect Bush.

Prime Minister Tony Blair's government has taken no position on the so-called ``Son of Star Wars'' program, which might require use of some ground facilities in Britain.

``I think the United States should be supported in pushing forward this project and in pursuing the necessary research,'' Conservative leader William Hague said.

``I also welcome very much the President-elect's major campaign speeches which suggest that such a missile shield could provide protection for America's allies as well as the U.S. homeland.''
