§ 17. Mr. James Lamondasked the Secretary of State for Defence if his Department has estimated how many 86W casualties would arise in the United Kingdom as a result of an attack similar to that assumed in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation exercise Wintex/Cimex 81.
§ Mr. GoodhartNo. Exercise Wintex/Cimex 81 was designed to test NATO's crisis management procedures, including civil emergency planning. The figures produced for military and civilian casualties were solely for practice purposes, and did not represent an estimate of the likely scale of casualties to be expected in any real attack.
