Nuclear Weapons (Hansard, 29 June 1990)

§ Mr. Macdonald
To ask the Prime Minister what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on seeking the total removal of land-based short-range nuclear weapons from Europe at the forthcoming arms negotiations dealing with these weapons.

§ The Prime Minister
Arms control remains an integral part of alliance security policy; NATO has therefore made it clear that it endorses the United States intention to begin negotiations with the Soviet Union on short-range nuclear forces after the conclusion of a treaty limiting conventional forces in Europe, and we fully support NATO's position.

§ Mr. Macdonald
To ask the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty's Government have established any conditions for their support for the deployment of tactical air-to-surface nuclear missiles in the United Kingdom.

§ The Prime Minister
We have always made clear our support for the continued presence of modern and effective American nuclear forces in Europe. The specific question of deployment of United States tactical air-to-surface missiles in the United Kingdom, and the terms which might apply, has not yet arisen.
