§ Mr. Churchillasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish figures and ratios of the overall balance of forces in Europe equivalent to those provided in fig. 4 of Command 7826–1, but including the military strengths deployed in all East European Warsaw Pact countries as well as the three Western military districts of the Soviet Union.
§ Mr. PymThe information requested is as follows:
stationed in the Federal Republic of Germany and the Benelux countries. The figures in the Warsaw Pact column have 125W been increased from those set out in fig. 4 of Command 7826–1 to include those specified by my hon. Friend in his question. If the other NATO forces in Europe were included the ratios would, of course, be less unfavourable to NATO.
