HC Deb 07 December 1990 vol 182 c236W
Mr. O'Neill

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on what occasions his officials have discussed military doctrine with their Soviet counterparts in the last two years.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

There have been a number of defence exchanges between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union in the last two years, during which a wide range of matters have been discussed, including military doctrine. There was also a military doctrine seminar in Vienna from 16 January to 5 February this year, in which both British and Soviet representatives took part.
