North Atlantic Treaty Organisation

HC Deb 20 May 1971 vol 817 cc342-3W

Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list precisely the spheres in which Great Britain has irrevocably surrendered her sovereignty through membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

Mr. Rippon

Some sharing of sovereignty is implicit in the concept of mutual self-defence enshrined in the North Atlantic Treaty.
