§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why the Strategic Defence Review contains no information on the efforts they have made and will make to achieve their aim of bringing about the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons; and whether they will now give such information. [HL2717]
§ The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Gilbert)I refer my noble friend to chapter four of the White Paper onThe Strategic Defence Review on deterrence and disarmament, and to supporting essay five on deterrence, arms control and proliferation. These set out in some detail a series of practical and achievable measures working towards the goal of nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.
