HC Deb 31 January 1989 vol 146 c112W
Dr. Goodson-Wickes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he intends to use Britain's presidency of the Western European Union to further discussions on the harmonisation of weapons technology research for the 21st century.

Mr. Waldegrave

NATO and, for its European members, the independent European programme group, are the operational fora in which allies examine how they can harmonise research in this area. The Western European Union gave political support in this work in the platform on European security interests adopted in The Hague on 27 October 1987.
