§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they intend to participate with the United States, financially or through the provision of our own or collaborative technology, in providing for a deployment of "Arrow" anti-missiles in Israel "within the framework of United States aid meant to compensate Israel for the Golan withdrawal", which is understood to be likely to cost "hundreds of millions of dollars" (Summary of World Broadcasts ME/2337 MED/10)
§ Lord HenleyCollaboration between the UK and US Governments in respect of ballistic missile technology is undertaken under the terms of the 1985 Strategic Defence Initiative Memorandum of Understanding, which requires each participating nation to seek the other's agreement should one wish to pass data to a third party. No such agreement has been entered into. The terms under which the US has supported Israel in the development ofArrow are a matter for the governments of those countries.
§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether Israel is a collaborative partner in ballistic missile defence research with the United States in the same way as is the United Kingdom, and if so whether United Kingdom taxpayer-funded ballistic missile defence technology has been used in the development of Israel's soon-to-be deployed ballistic missile system, and whether the "collaborative" results have been directly used by Israel.
§ Lord HenleyThe form of collaboration between the US and Israel is a matter for those governments. As I said in my answer of 21 June, collaborative research into ballistic missile technology between the US and the UK is undertaken under the terms of the 1985 Strategic Defence Initiative Memorandum of Understanding, which requires each participating nation to seek the82WA other's agreement should one wish to pass data to a third party. No such agreement has been entered into.
