HC Deb 11 April 1983 vol 40 c320W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proposals are being put forward at Geneva for the verification of cruise missiles; what problems have arisen in regard to these; and what proposals have been put forward to overcome them.

Mr. Hurd

The details of exchanges at the Geneva negotiations remain confidential. Verification of an agreement covering cruise missiles has been discussed by the United States and Soviet delegations, and amongst the Allies at the meetings of NATO's special consultative group. The United States has made it clear that adequate verification will be essential for any INF agreement.
