Dr. Marek

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if Her Majesty's Government will make it their policy to seek to ensure that public statements made by, and the military doctrine of, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation reflect its character as a defensive alliance.

Mr. Lee

NATO's public statements, such as its communiquùs, and NATO military planning already reflect the defensive nature of the Alliance.
