§ Mrs. Clwydasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the implications for British forces of the adoption by United States forces of the airland battle concept.
§ Mr. StanleyI refer the hon. Lady to my answer to her of 15 November at column 349 in which I made it clear that airland battle is United States army, not NATO, doctrine, and that United States army forces will, like British forces, operate in Europe under NATO procedures and principles.
