HC Deb 25 March 1982 vol 20 cc400-1W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State For Defence how many British representatives serve on the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation high level group; when the group last met; and what activities it is currently undertaking.

Mr. Blaker

The United Kingdom representation on the high level group is led by a senior official from the Ministry of Defence, supported by a small team of officials, including a representative of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The group last met on 15 September 1981. The future work programme of the group is one of the topics for discussion at the ministerial meeting of NATO's nuclear planning group currently being held in Colorado Springs.
