HL Deb 09 March 1994 vol 552 cc104-5WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether operations of the Combined Joint Task Force (which is of European Countries only) are subject to a United States or NATO veto, or whether this question has not been yet considered.

Viscount Cranborne

Work in NATO on CJTFs is under way but is not complete. However, any proposal for the use of common funded Alliance assets under the auspices of the WEU will be based on consultations between the North Atlantic Council and the Western European Council.
