HC Deb 23 January 1985 vol 71 c443W
28 Mr. Norman Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is satisfied that Britain's endorsement of United States policies for outer space is in keeping with the United Kingom's 1967 and 1972 treaty obligations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luce

Like the United States, we remain fully committed to our obligations under the 1967 outer space treaty. Athough not a party to the United States—Soviet anti-ballistic missile treaty of 1972, we have repeatedly made it clear that we regard it as an important element in preserving international peace and stability
