HC Deb 15 November 1979 vol 973 cc735-6W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will discuss with his North Atlantic Treaty Organisation colleagues the deployment of the neutron bomb in Europe.

Mr. Pym

I have no plans to do so. As I informed the hon. member for St. Pancras, North (Mr. Stallard) on 12 June—[Vol. 968, c.215–16]—we accept President Carter's decision of a year ago to defer a final decision on the production of enhanced radiation warheads, the so-called neutron bomb.
