§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they have examined the success record of the various projects within the Strategic Defence Initiative (including the studies conducted by the US General Accounting Office) and whether they consider participating in GPALS is likely to represent value for money.
Baroness Chalker of Wallasey: The US SDI programme has a number of impressive achievements. It is for the US authorities who fund GPALS to decide whether they receive value for money.
