HC Deb 25 June 1969 vol 785 cc268-9W
Mr. Henig

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what co-operation is taking place between Great Britain and France in strategic planning and military exercises.

Mr. John Morris

Strategic planning is a matter for N.A.T.O. French forces take part periodically in N.A.T.O. exercises together with British forces; in addition there are occasional bilateral exercises involving each of the three Services and bilateral military staff talks take place from time to time on matters of common interest.
