HC Deb 02 November 1987 vol 121 cc597-8W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether it is proposed that all cruise missile bases in the United Kingdom will he subject to Soviet inspection under the proposed arms control agreement and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ian Stewart

We are in close consultation with the United States on the form which a verification regime associated with the proposed INF agreement might take, including the question of inspections. Under such a regime, we would expect all ground-launched missile operating bases to be subject to inspection, including those in the United Kingdom.
