HC Deb 12 June 1989 vol 154 c321W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his policy towards the creation of binational divisions within NATO, on the model of the Anglo-Dutch marine force.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The United Kingdom/Netherlands amphibious force has an important part to play in NATO's plans for reinforcement of the northern region. We welcome such practical bilateral co-operation within the Alliance where it serves to enhance overall defence capabilities.
