§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will accept the invitation of the Warsaw Treaty states to hold a meeting with NATO states designed to free Europe from chemical weapons.
§ Baroness YoungWe continue to believe that the Committee on Disarmament is the best forum to reach agreement on a total and fully verifiable ban, applied worldwide, on the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. The latest Warsaw Pact proposal is no substitute for the comprehensive agreement we are seeking.
