HL Deb 31 July 1985 vol 467 cc333-4WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are aware of the view that the American strategic initiative contains within it collaborative projects which are in breach of the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty, and whether they agree with it.

Baroness Young

The United States Administration has repeatedly stressed that strategic defence initiative research will be conducted in full conformity with treaty obligations. Our firm support for this research is fully consistent with our own obligations, including those under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.
