HC Deb 11 June 1986 vol 99 cc236-7W
68. Mr. Gerald Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next expects to discuss the prospects for a universal and properly verified ban on chemical weapons with his North Atlantic Treaty Organisation colleagues.

Mr. Renton

My right hon. and learned Friend was able to have a full exchange of views on chemical weapons with NATO colleagues at the meeting of the North Atlantic Council in Halifax on 29–30 May. The NAC reaffirmed its strong commitment to the early agreement of a comprehensive and verifiable global ban.
