§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they consider the position of the United States Administration that "air and naval activities.…[which] are functionally related to ground force activities are the only ones which have military significance in the European context", to be appropriate; given the vast scale of present Soviet air and naval activities which are not so related.
§ Lord TrefgarneNATO defence planning, to which the US and other allies contribute, takes account of all aspects of the Soviet threat. In the European context, land, air and naval activities are interrelated, and this is reflected in Alliance planning.
