HC Deb 25 April 1961 vol 639 c31W
67. Mr. M. Foot

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will give an assurance that, before accepting new proposals for the supply of tactical nuclear weapons to the West German armed forces, he will make a statement to the House of Commons.

Mr. Ormsby Gore

There are no such proposals at present before the North Atlantic Council. The equipment of German forces assigned to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is not considered in isolation but as part of the equipment of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation forces as a whole.
