§ 27. Mr. Hickmetasked the Secretary of State for Defence what representations he has received about United Kingdom membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
§ Mr. StanleyMy Department receives a considerable number of inquiries each year on many aspects of the 409W United Kingdom's membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. We have not been able to identify any recent representations specifically on whether or not the United Kingdom should remain a member of NATO, but I feel sure that the overwhelming majority of British people would want the United Kingdom's membership to continue.
