HC Deb 09 March 1984 vol 55 cc727-8W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the specific commitment of the United Kingdom and the United States of America to consult their allies, times and circumstances permitting, before releasing their nuclear weapons for use, as made at the North Atlantic Council meeting in 1962, still applies, in view of the proposed development by the United States of America of sea-launched cruise missiles.

Mr. Stanley

Yes.
