HC Deb 07 February 1978 vol 943 cc493-4W
Mr. Churchill

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in his reply to the Soviet President's letter calling on NATO members to resist the deployment of enhanced radiation/reduced blast nuclear warheads in Europe, he will make clear that Her Majesty's Government have no such objection and will not bow to this sort of pressure.

Mr. Judd

The position on possible production or deployment of enhanced radiation/reduced blast warheads remains as described in the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence to the hon. Member on 16th December last. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister will be replying to President Brezhnev at the appropriate time.
