HC Deb 05 March 1968 vol 760 c65W
Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what estimate he has made of the approximate comparative strengths of the frontline air forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the Warsaw Pact;

(2) what estimate he has made of the approximate comparative strengths of the submarine fleets of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and the Warsaw Pact;

(3) what estimate he has made of the approximate comparative strength of armoured forces deployed in Europe by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and by the Warsaw Pact.

Mr. Healey

Estimates of Warsaw Pact strengths are kept under review in my Department. As a member of the Alliance, the United Kingdom is informed of the armed strengths of our North Atlantic allies. Security considerations preclude my making available the detailed information requested.
