§ Mr. Cohenasked the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has as to whether, despite the fact that no North Atlanic Treaty Organisation field training exercise this autumn contained a nuclear phase, any weapons capable of being used in a nuclear role were moved in connection with, or as a consequence of, any of these exercises.
§ Mr. StanleyIn the course of NATO exercises, a range of weapons systems may be moved for training purposes, and some of these may be nuclear-capable. Security considerations however preclude my detailing the involvement of particular systems in particular exercises.
