HC Deb 28 November 1984 vol 68 c519W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how the follow-on force attack policy differs from existing NATO strategy for responding to an attack.

Mr. Stanley

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the Adjournment debate of the hon. Member for Cynon Valley (Mrs. Clwyd) on 31 October, in which I made it clear that follow-on forces attack is concerned with implementation of existing NATO strategy and is not a departure from it.
