To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the implications for British defence policy of agreements on defence matters concluded between the presidents of the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

§ Mr. Tom King
NATO allies are agreed that our peace and security will continue to depend on nuclear deterrence; for this policy to be effective, nuclear systems will need to be kept up to date where necessary.

§ 48. Mr. Strang
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress he expects to be made in the removal of nuclear weapons from Europe, following the summit which took place earlier this month between the leaders of the United States of America and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

§ Mr. Archie Hamilton
I welcome the progress made at the recent superpower summit on the wide range of security issues that were discussed. With regard to the removal of nuclear weapons from Europe, I look forward to the successful completion of the process of removal of all United States and Soviet intermediate-range forces from Europe provided for under the INF treaty. NATO has also made clear that it endorses the United States intention to begin negotiations with the Soviet Union on short-range nuclear forces shortly after the conclusion of a treaty on limiting conventional forces in Europe.
