HC Deb 01 March 1989 vol 148 c211W
Mr. McFall

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made towards a NATO agreement on short-range nuclear missiles.

Mrs. Chalker

Short-range nuclear missiles play an important role in NATO's strategy of flexible response: the Alliance is united in its resolve to keep its weapons up to date as necessary. Discussions on how this is to be done are under way in the Alliance.
