HC Deb 20 May 1985 vol 79 c370W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many Spetsnaz brigades are assumed to be available for use against the United Kingdom.

Mr. Stanley

It is not our practice to disclose details of classified intelligence assessments. However, it would be prudent to assume that operations against targets in the United Kingdom are likely to feature in Soviet military planning.
