§ Mr. WallaceTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department has incurred any expenditure in respect of exercises involving cruise missiles based at Greenham Common since the ratification of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonIt is not the practice, for both operational and security reasons, to give details of matters relating to these exercises. As my hon. Friend the Member for Hertfordshire, North (Mr. Stewart) said in his reply to the hon. Member for Leyton (Mr. Cohen) on 3 December at column708, cruise missiles off-base training exercises from Greenham Common will continue until the missiles are withdrawn from the base.
