§ 14. Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what involvement his Department has had with NATO undercover operations which countenance terrorism.
103W
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonIt has been the practice of successive Governments not to comment on operational matters of this nature. But I can assure the hon. Member that neither Her Majesty's Government nor NATO would countenance any operations involving terrorism in any way.
§ 19. Mr. Ian TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what role is envisaged for NATO in conciliation arrangements in respect of the conference on security and co-operation in Europe.
§ Mr. Tom KingThe Paris CSCE summit recommended the establishment of mechanisms for the prevention and resolution of conflicts between CSCE participants, including possible conciliation arrangements. These matters will be further discussed shortly but I think it unlikely that NATO as such would have a role in them.
