HC Deb 13 July 1976 vol 915 cc126-7W
44. Mr. Goodhew

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied with the maritime and air aspects of NATO defence strategy as opposed to land defence aspects; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mason

I am satisfied that NATO's strategy of flexibility in response remains valid. It is just as applicable to maritime and air defence as it is to land defence.
