To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which military facilities Soviet Defence Minister Yazov inspected on his recent visit to the United Kingdom; which of these facilities is open for visits by United Kingdom citizens; and if he will make a statement on the benefit to the United Kingdom-Soviet Union relations of the visit.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

General Yazov visited RAF Leuchars, HMS Invincible, the Parachute Regiment depot and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. All of these are open to the general public from time to time. General Yazov's successful visit is an important milestone in bilateral relations and has contributed significantly to improved mutual understanding in the defence and security field.
