§ Mr. Banksasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give details of the effects on Great Britain's NATO commitments resulting from implementation of the White Paper, Command Paper No. 6432.
§ Mr. MasonThe Defence Review established those areas where Britain can make the most significant contribution to her security and that of the Alliance, and Cmnd. 6432 reflects the Government's determination to continue to meet those essential commitments. It also makes clear that our post-Defence Review frontline contribution to NATO has not been reduced and that the level of direct support for our front-line capability has not been cut. Details of our contribution to NATO are given in Chapter I.
