HL Deb 30 June 1988 vol 498 c1821WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether British test launches of Polaris missiles using United States facilities are to be covered by the agreement between the USSR and the United States on ballistic missile launch notification.

Lord Trefgarne

The agreement on notification of ballistic missile launches is bilateral between the US and Soviet Union. It would not therefore cover notification of launches of UK missiles.
