§ Mr. George Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proposals he will be making to the United States Administration about a United Kingdom contribution to the strategic arms reduction talks scheduled for late June.
§ Mr. RifkindWe strongly support the American proposal for substantial cuts in the total numbers of ballistic missile warheads, but the strategic arms reduction talks should, in our view, address only the strategic arsenals of the two major nuclear weapon states. This view is shared by all members of the Alliance. United Kingdom forces will not therefore be involved.
