HL Deb 30 October 1996 vol 575 cc19-20WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether discussions within NATO on counter-proliferation hardware, including anti-tactical missile hardware, are being held on the understanding that NATO is to be expanded eastwards, and that nuclear weapons are, or may be, deployed in the territory of any new member.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The recommendations to address NATO's military response to the risks posed by proliferation are being taken forward through the established machinery of the Alliance, where all relevant factors will be taken into account.
