HC Deb 29 April 1986 vol 96 c373W
Mrs. Clwyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United States Government regarding the antiballistic missile treaty; and what is Her Majesty's Government's position regarding the treaty.

Mr. Renton

As my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said in this House on 6 November at column 24 in the context of the US-Soviet Geneva summit, the United Kingdom wants to see the ABM treaty strengthened and reaffirmed. Issues raised by the ABM treaty are discussed as appropriate with the United States Government although the United Kingdom is not a party to this treaty.
