HC Deb 15 July 1980 vol 988 c502W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the machinery for co-ordination on defence planning between the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

Mr. Pym

Machinery exists within NATO to enable continuous consultation to take place between member nations on all aspects of defence planning. The aim of such consultation is to make the most effective use of the resources available for defence of the Alliance, by collaborative and co-operative action.
