HC Deb 03 December 1986 vol 106 cc644-5W
17. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary or State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the implications of the modernisation of Fylingdales for the anti-ballistic missile treaty.

Mr. Renton

As my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for the Armed Forces told the House on 22 May, we are satisfied that the modernisation of RAF Fylingdales will be in full conformity with US obligations under the ABM treaty.

41. Mr. Sedgemore

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions Her Majesty's Government have had with the United States Administration on the interpretation of the anti-ballistic missile treaty.

59. Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions have taken place between Her Majesty's Government and the United States Administration on the interpretation of the anti-ballistic missile treaty.

74. Mr. James Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with the United States Secretary of State, since the Reykjavik talks, on the applicability of the anti-ballistic missile treaty to strategic defence initiative developments.

Mr. Renton

We regularly hold discussions with the US Administration on a range of political military issues, for example, when my right hon. and learned Friend met Mr. Shultz in Vienna. The ABM treaty, to which the UK is not a party, is raised in the course of these discussions as appropriate.
