HC Deb 14 December 1990 vol 182 c532W
Mr. Macdonald

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the NATO policy on the permanent basing of NATO tactical air-to-surface missiles on the European mainland.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

NATO's policy remains as set out in the July 1990 London declaration, where it is stated that, to keep the peace, the alliance must maintain for the foreseeable future an appropriate mix of nuclear and conventional forces, based in Europe, and kept up to date where necessary.
