HC Deb 11 May 1989 vol 152 cc484-5W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list each category of weapon of which there is deemed a Soviet surplus, giving his definition of how any particular quantity of weapons is so judged; and if he will set out his source of information on Soviet weapon capacity in so far as national security permits

Mr. Waldegrave

I refer the hon. Gentleman to the NATO booklet: "Conventional Forces in Europe: The Facts" which was published on 25 November last year and which was then placed in the Library of the House.
