HC Deb 17 June 1982 vol 25 c334W
Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to make it the policy of the NATO alliance that no member State shall sell to Israel any materials suitable for military application.

Mr. Pym

It is for individual member States of the NATO Alliance to decide their policy on military sales to Israel. The statement of the Ten Foreign Ministers of 9 June said that the possibilities for future action following Israel's invasion of Lebanon would be examined. Discussions on this are continuing with our partners.
