HL Deb 22 October 1991 vol 531 c136WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is still the case, as they declared to the House of Commons Select Committee on Defence during their inquiry into the Statement on the Defence Estimates (H.C. Paper 495, Session 1987–88, p. xxvii), that they "attach great importance to the ABM Treaty".

The Earl of Arran

I will write to the noble Lord.

Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they support the Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS) anti-ballistic missile programme announced by President Bush earlier this year and whether in their view GPALS would be compatible with the provisions of the ABM Treaty.

The Earl of Arran

I will write to the noble Lord.
