§ M. MacdonaldTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what figures his Department has provided to the conventional forces in Europe negotiations regarding the numbers and types of the United Kingdom's armed forces; and whether he will make these available to Parliament.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe most recent figures for United Kingdom equipment holdings are contained in the NATO publication "Conventional Forces in Europe: The Facts", dated November 1988, a copy of which is in the Library of the House. NATO has proposed a formal exchange of data as part of a CFE treaty, but no such exchange has yet taken place.
